2002 Auxey Duresses Blanc

Aromatic nose offers lemon, orange juice, spices and stone; smells like a wine from colder soil. Very smooth and creamy in the mouth, with lively flavors of pineapple and grapefruit. A particularly refined example of this village, offering a captivating sugar/acid balance. (A Bourgogne Blanc Vieilles Vignes was similarly creamy and airy, showing Meursault-like notes of soft citrus fruits and minerals and almost no evidence of oak. )
