2020 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Comte Armand
£48.00
“Ripe, concentrated currant and plum fruit, with hints of smoke, mineral and leather on the nose, plus firm but finely-grained tannins balanced with fresh acidity, delivering a wine that’s both exuberantly fruity yet structured and long. Blended from two lieux-dits: 60% Bretérins and 40% Bas de Duresses. This wine is always a standout in the portfolio and it is terrific in 2020.”
Two of the most beautiful plots of the village are assembled in grapes to obtain this wine. On the one hand, the Breterins, exposed due south on white and light soils conferring an advanced maturity for the appellation and very fruity wines. On the other hand, the Duresses, exposed South East on brown clay soils conferring rather dense and tannic wines. The complementarity of these two plots produces a serious and powerful wine.
