Auxey-Duresses Blanc
Phwoar! Here we go. Chardonnay grown in the increasingly interesting Auxey-Duresses region, home to sublime white and red Burgundy that goes under the radar.
This is from sixty year old vines in a tiny parcel of around one hectare. Highly sought after. A rare beauty of a wine. Examples like this show you exactly why Chardonnay from France remains king of the hill. Class personified.
Tasting notes
A remarkable wine that somehow manages to balance ethereal purity and generosity of fruit. Acidity and texture are there, but almost in the background playing second fiddle. It makes for a white wine of subtle power and impeccable balance. Absolute top notch.
