The 2012 Auxey-Duresses Blanc comes from three parcels courtesy from a métayage agreement that began in 2010. It has a reserved, slightly aloof bouquet at first, aromatics that check you the taster out first before decided to reluctantly unfold. The palate is crisp and well defined on the entry – not dissimilar to a St. Aubin en Remilly. The palate is crisp and spicy on the entry with a citrus lemon, lime and a touch of apricot, with a gently build towards the peppery finish. This is well-crafted Auxey-Duresses. 89 points
