2023, Domaine du Comte Armand, AUXEY-DURESSES, Village, Rouge, Monopole

The 2023 Auxey-Duresses Village was de-stemmed and aged in used barrels. It offers blackberry and blueberry, a little muted at first but opening with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. It is quite a juicy Auxey-Duresses, with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper on the finish. This will drink well for several years. 87-89 Neal Martin, Vinous.
