"A confidential vintage ... and that's a shame!
Auxey-Duresses is located at the threshold of a valley which, from the Côte de Beaune, plunges into the Hautes Côtes on the road to La Rochepot and Autun. Neither too light nor too dark ruby in color, this balance continues on the nose, rich in berries such as raspberry and blackcurrant, with a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is fine and supple from the outset, sappy, tannic and elegantly woody, without lacking in freshness.
