Out of town friends @ Republique; 7/31/2019-8/6/2019: “Persistent as fuck”. Which it was. The wine had all of the hallmarks of classic D’auvenay, powerhouse smoky yellow fruited nose with white pepper and flint. The palate is just absolutely brimming with rich golden fruit, there’s serious weight on the wine as it just crushes the mid palate deep into the finish. Has bracing powerful minerality and sparkle and an equally broad frame that’s completely filled out by the raw material. Every time having D’auvenay is a treat and an example why it’s probably the best white wine being made in Burgundy.

Balance and power. Gunflint city. Piercing palate, acid and weight. (468/906)
