Goedhuis, December 2023
The northerly exposed vineyards of Auxey Duresses, sitting directly behind Meursault, are fast gaining recognition for producing wines with a charming representation of Pinot Noir. The berry fruit characters of blueberry and loganberry are a little darker than some years, showing the warmth of the season. The rewarding sweet spice finish and richness of fruit defies its village appellational status. Perfect for youthful drinking.

Neal Martin, January 2024, Score: 87-89
The 2022 Auxey-Duresses Village has a backwards bouquet that needs a little more fruit intensity but feels fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, dark berry fruit and a touch of spice. It’s quite "solid" toward the finish, so afford it a couple of years in bottle. Drinking Window: 2026-2036.

Clos des Épeneaux is Pommard’s most celebrated climat. The 5.23 hectare monopole has been in the Comte Armand family since 1828. Paul Zinetti took over from Benjamin Leroux as régisseur in 2014, and is rising to every challenge at this small, characterful domaine. They also have small holdings in Volnay and Auxey Duresses and, while these wines have the distinctive character of quintessential Côte de Beaune, they are also some of the most sophisticated, nuanced expressions you might taste across these villages. An understated use of new oak matches the textured fruit, and gentle handling in combination with intuitive biodynamic practices afford these wines both strength and delicacy. The domaine has begun to noticeably outpace its neighbours and redefine how the finest terroir of Pommard is capable of not only power but elegance as well.Read less
Region
Auxey Duresses
Auxey Duresses is a lesser known appellation of 107 hectares located in the eastern hills above Meursault. Its slightly cooler climate with mostly north facing slopes enable its wines to be particularly crisp, fresh and occasionally austere in less warm vintages. Though three-quarters of its production is white, there are a handful of growers who produce reds. Due to its more modest status, its wines tend to provide excellent value for money . They are well worth seeking out particularly in warmer vintages.
