Auxey-Duresses
Over the years, Auxey-Duresses in the Côte de Beaune has quietly made a name for itself with quality wines that rival the other great white wines from the “Golden Triangle”: Meursault, Chassagne and Puligny …
Origin
Nestled between the two famed villages of Volnay and Meursault, Auxey-Duresses has only 150 ha of vines, which has always meant that this appellation has remained out of the limelight. Today, however, it offers some of the Côte’s best value for the money.
Our Auxey-Duresses comes from plots located in the extension of the Meursault appellation.
