Leflaive & Associes Auxey Duresses Magnum

Leflaive & Associés is a project of the prestigious Domaine Laflaive in Burgundy. Sourcing Bio-Dynamically grown grapes from long term associates in Côte de Beaune, The wine making team produce wines of the same outstanding quality and attention to detail.  Auxey Duresses is a classically overlooked appellation situated in the Côe de Beaune that is performing well under the radar. Sitting between Meursault and Saint-Romain, the site produces a richer style than Puligny that impresses in warmer vintages. The Auxey-Duresses 2019 was fermented in 15% new oak casks, producing a wonderfully aromatic, beautifully balanced Chardonnay. Lemon, butterscotch lead onto a medium-bodied palate with an underlying almond nuttiness.
