Auxerrois
Auxerrois is one of those grape varieties that simply must be in your glass. Its strength lies in its wonderfully mild, approachable nature, yet it possesses genuine character: In the glass, it shimmers a pale yellow and exudes aromas of ripe pears, quince, and mirabelle plums. On the palate, it impresses with a beautiful richness and a velvety smoothness , making it the ideal companion for many occasions – uncomplicated, but never boring.
Likely originating in Burgundy, France, Auxerrois thrives today primarily in Alsace , Baden, and the Palatinate – regions that provide the perfect climate for its aromatic ripening. At Vinoscout, you'll discover nine carefully selected wines of this underrated variety, from everyday bottles starting at €6.90 to characterful examples for up to €15.99.

Auxerrois – the quiet charmer among white wines
Auxerrois is a grape variety that you should know, even if it is rarely in the spotlight. The wines are usually full-bodied and soft on the finish, with a pleasant fullness that manages without much acidity. This makes them accessible and suitable for everyday use – a glass that you can simply enjoy without thinking about it for long.
Origin and home
Auxerrois feels particularly at home in Alsace and Luxembourg, but is also cultivated in German growing regions such as Baden. It is therefore no coincidence that our range includes winemakers from Baden – such as Klumpp, Heitlinger, Bernhart, Bimmerle and Kiefer – alongside the Luxembourg winery Bernard Massard. The variety appreciates cooler sites and produces wines with substance and drinkability there.
