Featured at RoséFest 2026

Charles Audoin stood out at RoséFest because it immediately felt different from the softer Provence wines around it. This is Burgundy rosé with actual structure behind it: bright red fruit, spice, mineral freshness, and enough weight to feel completely at home at the dinner table. Made from Pinot Noir in Marsannay, the only village-level appellation in Burgundy allowed to produce rosé, it carries the same earthy precision and savory detail people already love in Côte de Nuits reds, just in a lighter and more refreshing register.

Why We Love It at Petit Philippe

Marsannay rosé has always occupied a really interesting space because it drinks more like Burgundy than like “rosé” in the generic sense. Charles Audoin does a great job preserving that balance between freshness and structure. There is enough fruit to keep the wine approachable, but the mineral character and savory edge are what make people keep paying attention after the first sip. This is one of the bottles we pour when we want to show that rosé can absolutely belong at the dinner table.

Our Rosé Pick this Season

This is the rosé for Pinot Noir drinkers. It works especially well for people who normally reach for Burgundy reds but want something lighter during warmer weather without losing the earthy, savory side they already enjoy. It is also one of the easiest rosés in the lineup to pair with a full meal, especially if dinner involves roast chicken, salmon, mushrooms, or anything with a little richness.

Winemaking

Domaine Charles Audoin farms across Marsannay in the northern Côte de Nuits, where limestone soils and cooler growing conditions help preserve freshness and structure in Pinot Noir. The rosé is made with the same attention to balance and site expression that defines the domaine’s red wines, emphasizing purity of fruit, mineral tension, and restraint over overt ripeness or sweetness. The result is a rosé that feels unmistakably Burgundian in both texture and style.

Serving & Pairing

Serve lightly chilled, around 50–55°F. This wine opens up noticeably as it warms slightly in the glass and pairs naturally with food. Roast chicken, salmon, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, grilled vegetables, and softer cheeses all work especially well. It is also a great bridge bottle for red wine drinkers moving into rosé during warmer months.

Estate Overview

Domaine Charles Audoin is one of the benchmark producers in Marsannay, the northernmost village of the Côte de Nuits and the only village-level Burgundy appellation permitted to produce rosé. The domaine has become known for transparent, site-driven Pinot Noir that balances structure with energy and drinkability. Their Marsannay Rosé carries that same identity into a lighter register, showing why Burgundy rosé can feel far more serious and food-oriented than many people expect from the category.
