Auxey-Duresses Blanc 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This is a white villages-level wine from one of the over-achieving satellite villages located in a valley just West of Meursault. Both red and white wines are produced here with certain whites offering similarities to the Meursault whites, including a stony brightness and vivacity with a long finish. This is a medium-bodied white with scents of lemon zest and white flowers, and is a remarkably versatile introduction to white Burgundy.
Harvest Note
2023 was a hot and dry growing season which was saved by significant rain in June. This allowed the vines to withstand summer heat and drought and led to ideal sanitary conditions and a modest yield yet concentrated vintage.
Tasting Note
Notes of lemon zest and white flowers are followed by a stony intensity on the palate and a long, graceful finish.
