Comte Armand Auxey Duresses 1er Cru 2022 Red 750ml

Comte Armand Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru 2022 is an elegant red Burgundy produced by Domaine du Comte Armand in the Côte de Beaune region of France. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, this Premier Cru wine combines expressive fruit character, refined structure and mineral complexity, reflecting the distinctive terroir of Auxey-Duresses.
The 2022 vintage reveals vibrant red and dark fruit flavours, including wild strawberries, cherries and blackberries, complemented by delicate floral aromas, earthy nuances and subtle white pepper. Fresh acidity and firm yet refined tannins create a balanced palate with depth, precision and excellent potential for further development.
The wine draws its character from two vineyard sites, Les Bréterins and Les Duresses. The limestone-rich soils of Les Bréterins contribute freshness and mineral tension, while the clay-rich soils of Les Duresses provide body, structure and concentration. Traditional winemaking and maturation in French oak barrels help integrate the wine's tannins while preserving its aromatic purity.
The 750ml glass bottle is an excellent choice for Burgundy enthusiasts, fine dining, special occasions and collectors seeking an expressive Premier Cru Pinot Noir.
