"Well above its appellation!"
"This brilliant, light-yellow cuvée opens with a complex nose of citrus (grapefruit), dried fruit, honey, hazelnut and brioche. The palate reveals great finesse, blending freshness and roundness in a suave body. The smooth, long-lasting fruity finish is convincing". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

Very good value for money! There are more expensive Burgundies that are far less tasty than this very nice little Côtes d'Auxerre.
