Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This gourmand, full-bodied and elegant wine is one of the sweet spots of the Comte Armand stable. As ever, it is a blend of two vineyards in Auxey: Les Bréterins and Les Duresses. Bréterins is steep, well-drained, with very limestone soils contributing savoury elegance; Duresses is clay-based and builds power and body in the wine. It has the savoury structure for good ageing potential, though it is still fragrant and inviting in its youth.
This wine is now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on [email protected] or 01473 313 300 for more information or guidance on an alternative.
The 2020 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru, which also contains 8-10% whole bunch, has a more detailed, mineral-driven bouquet than the Village Cru though with a similar fruit profile. The palate is well balanced considering it only finished its malo one month earlier, a mixture of red and blueberry fruit with a slightly granular finish. A little heady, but it conveys a sense of place.
