Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru Rouge, Domaine Comte Armand 2019
The 2019 Domaine Comte Armand Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru Rouge is a stunner, exhibiting aromas of dark fruits, spices, and earthy undertones. A powerful yet refined palate, layered with ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, and blueberry lifted by subtle spice and a hint of candied orange peel on the finish. Under the leadership of talented winemakers like Benjamin Leroux and now Paul Zinetti, Domaine Comte Armand emphasises minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar. Hand-harvesting, natural fermentations, and careful oak aging create wines that balance power, elegance, and precision, with remarkable aging potential and complexity. The appellation’s grandest domaine, Comte Armand regularly feature as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy Special Reports.
Jim Barry The Benbournie 2021
Benbournie was settled in 1853 and today, ancient vines, fig and almond trees remain. Berry, mocha, herb and cedar notes have a little savoury minerality; fine tannins help it improve with age
