Auxey Duresses 1er Cru

All wines of Auxey Duresses appellation in Burgundy

Communal appellation in Burgundy, near Volnay and Meursault, Côte de Beaune. It produces red wines from Pinot Noir (75% of production) and white wines from Chardonnay. Red wines include Premier Crus (9 climats and 134 ha), such as Les Duresses and Climat de Val, facing south-east on Montagne du Bourdon. More exposed to cold winds than the vineyards of neighboring Volnay, its wines are more austere in style. Thanks to clay-limestone soils and optimal exposure, Aloxe-Corton's red wines offer red fruit aromas, elegant tannic structure and excellent ageing potential. The white wines, meanwhile, stand out for their minerality, richness and notes of dried fruit or honey.
