2023 Auxey-Duresses Blanc, Benjamin Leroux, Burgundy

Description

Half of this was made in foudre, the other half in barrels of different sizes. The fruit is from Les Hautés, mostly, along with its neighbour La Macabrée. There is nothing from Les Boutonniers this year. There is a savoury, mineral side to the nose. On the palate there is fresh citrus character, like oranges and limes, and a long, bright finish. This is a relatively easy drinker, not huge in the mouth, with some gentle apple and pear fruit.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 88-89/100
Pale colour, a more restrained nose and the oak is not talking much. A lifted fresh greener fruit on the palate, but still properly ripe, with a supple, and subtle finish. Fair length.

About this wine

Auxey-Duresses

Auxey-Duresses

A small village in a side valley off the Côte de Beaune, with a slightly cooler local climate making for a more austere style of Burgundy. Nonetheless this can be an excellent source of relatively inexpensive wine in warmer years, or from top producers. At the moment production is about 75:25 red to white. The reds can age well, while the whites can have a most attractive minerality.
