Description
- It was in 1924 that the village of Auxey joined its name to that of their best parcel of vines "Les Duresses", therefore becoming Auxey-Duresses. This village is graced with the prestigious neighbours of Pommard and Volnay, and while these two communes produce uniquely reds the commune of Auxey-Duresses produces reds on the hill of Bourdon which is an extension of Volnay and whites on the fine soils on the Mélian hill.
Vinification & Ageing
- FermentationTraditional in open vat, 100% malolactic fermentation.

Wine tasting
- Tasting NoteWith a brilliant ruby color, our Auxey-Duresses 2021 reveals a nose with cherry and undergrowth aromas. Its round mouth is accompanied by roasted notes, and again by aromas of cherry. Nice length.
