Among the most iconic climats of Auxey-Duresses, the Premier Cru “Le Bas des Duresses” extends across a prime south-to-southeast-facing hillside – a choice orientation ensuring perfectly ripened Pinot Noir grapes. Harvested from old vines rooted in stony, limestone-rich marl, this Premier Cru gets its unique concentration from deep, perfectly draining soil. The nose reveals aromas of ripe dark fruit, enhanced by spicy and floral notes. On the palate, the wine reveals a full-bodied, silky texture, supported by delicate, refined tannins. An Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru with tremendous potential – showing great depth, energy and elegance. With its alluring fruitiness and texture, this wine will gain in complexity after a few years of ageing.
