"The 2013 Auxey-Duresses villages has a generous blueberry and blackberry-scented bouquet – think of Bonnes-Mares's younger cousin. The palate is rounded in the mouth: smooth and harmonious with hints of black cherry, cassis and strawberry. It is so silky in texture and seductive that it will be difficult to resist temptation to pop this open over the next couple of years, but it has the substance to last a lot longer."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
