Comte Armand Auxey Duresses 1er Cru 2023 Red 750ml

Comte Armand Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru 2023 is an elegant red Burgundy produced by Domaine du Comte Armand in the Côte de Beaune region of France. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, this Premier Cru wine showcases the finesse, aromatic complexity and distinctive terroir of Auxey-Duresses.
The 2023 vintage displays vibrant red and dark fruit flavours, including fresh cherries, wild strawberries and blackcurrants, complemented by floral notes, subtle spice and earthy nuances. Its balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins create a refined structure, while the concentrated fruit and mineral character provide depth and a persistent finish.
The wine combines fruit from two distinguished vineyard sites, Les Bréterins and Les Duresses. The limestone-rich soils of Les Bréterins contribute freshness and mineral tension, while the richer clay soils of Les Duresses provide body, structure and concentration. Matured in French oak barrels, the wine develops additional complexity while preserving the purity of its Pinot Noir fruit.
The 750ml glass bottle is an excellent choice for Burgundy enthusiasts, fine dining, special occasions and collectors seeking an expressive Premier Cru wine.
