Medium red , good acidity, no noticeable nose, tannins still have an edge to them but there is ample dark fruit flavours that linger as you taste this wine, good length. Needs more time to harmonize but is getting better with each glass... slightly fatter, richer in fruit flavours

DIVA Burgundy Tasting (Maison Champy - Beaune): Tasting, brief note. a clear step up from the Villages level. Better fruit concentration, but clearly more floral and spice elements here. VG for its level.

So how does this differ from the above? Blend of two terroir both Premier Cru. Lots of stones, and very deep and stony. 60% of Les Brouton, 40% Les Beau Duress (sorry about the spelling).
Much deeper and darker than the former, lots of black cherry fruit on the nose, still with the hint of green (in a very good way). 60 year old vines. Lots of power on the palate, loads of fruit but nicely packaged with the tannins and acidity, again, not overdone, just sublime structure. The “precision” notes one tastes and that is very true. Long finish, tight, but all there. One month in bottle so very young for the wine.
This is probably the best Auxey Duresse I have ever had.

A bit tart with some hard edges. On the leaner side which i prefer. OK bottle. I would have guessed 2013 vintage.

Vibrant and with a nice pure Pinot Noir fruit with some stony minerality underneath. Nice wine. 89-91P

Still very much red fruited but a little deeper than the village wine. It had the perfume of violets and real chalky structure.
