2023 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru, Comte Armand

This gourmand, full-bodied and elegant wine is one of the sweet spots of the Comte Armand stable, with hints of cassis, sapid, black cherry and sweet spice. It is a blend of two vineyards in Auxey: 70% Les Bréterins and 30% Les Duresses. Bréterins is steep and well-draining, with limestone soils contributing savoury elegance; Duresses is clay-based and builds power and body in the wine. It has the structure for good ageing potential, though it is still fragrant and inviting in its youth. A standout in 2023.

Critic Scores

88-90/100 – Neal Martin, vinous.com

The 2023 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru offers more perfume and florality than the Village Cru, with violet-infused black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, a creamy texture and a plush, precocious character, finishing with a note of sweet cassis. This will be difficult to resist in its youth.
