The 2010 Auxey-Duresses is superb. A gentle hint of spice adds complexity to the bright white/green fruit in this silky, layered and impeccably balanced wine. In 2010, the Auxey-Duresses is a standout within its peer group. It also proves delicious Burgundies can be found in some of the less well-known appellations. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.
Morey-Blanc is the negociant operation Pierre Morey originally started with his wife to compensate for the loss of fruit from parcels he had previously farmed under a share cropping agreement with Comtes Lafon. The wines are aged in Morey’s cellars in Puligny, along with the domaine wines.
