Comte Armand Auxey-Duresses
Wine Information
Stemming from a "terroir" Exposed full South, on a hill on the way to the Little Village Auxey, this wine has a full fruit taste with a mineral touch.
South facing hillside, this parcel with an average age of 40 years, is geologically unique to this sector. Indeed, this is one of the most heavily dense limestone areas of the Côte de Beaune (30% active lime). The wines are full of berries and are usually quite young to drink, but can also grow old.
