Now in bottle, the 2020 Auxey-Duresses Blanc Les Hautés has turned out brilliantly. Indeed, this tensile, incisive, concentrated white Burgundy would embarrass many much loftier appellations. Unwinding in the glass with scents of Meyer lemon and crisp stone fruit mingled with hints of freshly baked bread, Anjou pear and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, chiseled and penetrating, with terrific depth at the core, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. At last, Lalou Bize-Leroy has a rival in Auxey-Duresses! Bottled under Diam 30, this wine will richly reward patience, but its quality is unmistakable.
