Benjamin Leroux Auxey-Duresses
Wine Information
Leroux’s Auxey-Duresses vineyards face east/southeast and have an altitude of about 350 meters. About half the vines are 25 years old; the other half 35 years old. The stony soil is white marl and limestone over a limestone base. In other words, very rocky and very chalky and the resulting style of wine reflects this soil.
