Tasting notes
Cask sample. Lightly spicy nose. Real structure. This is grown-up, energetic wine! Difficult to choose between this and the Volnay … Real grip and great zest. Very long. (JR)

The 2021 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru is a blend of two lieux-dits that were less impacted by the frost than elsewhere. It has a perfumed blackcurrant, cassis and violet-scented bouquet that shows a little more precision than the Village Cru. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy entry, fine acidity and gentle grip with blue fruit towards its relatively opulent finish. Fine.
