Domaine Florence Cholet, Auxey-Duresses Rouge

60 year old vines growing between Meursault and Monthélie. Gentle pressing and a long fermentation to preserve freshness and perfume. Lovely colour – a ruby glow in the glass. Cranberry crunch, juicy and elegant, filigree, plenty of freshness. Wild strawberries, a touch of dried herb, I really like this. It has a juicy, easy drinkability to it, very much modern Burgundy, one can feel the quality of the fruit, but it is framed so lightly. Feels like this should be lovely from the go. Hard not to down tools and have a second, perhaps third, taste…
