Auxey Duresses White AOP - Domaine Labry 2018
$93
The Labry Estate currently cultivates 16 ha of vineyards spread over four villages, with production concentrated around two major red wine appellations, Auxey-Duresses and Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune; these growing areas also yield whites bottled under the same labels.
The vines grow on white marly and limestone soil located on the lower reaches of the Auxey-Duresses hillsides as well as in the hamlet of Melin.
Mineral tones shape the nose, which beyond a few years extends into nutty and buttery aromas.
This wine features a handsome yellowish gold hue. The initial taste has character and is buoyed by vanilla fragrances.
