Comte Armand, Auxey-Duresses, 1er Cru, 2009

As usual, this is a 60-40 blend of two of Auxey's best sites: Les Breterins and Bas de Duresses. Everything was de-stemmed and there is 20 percent new oak. This reached a high level of ripeness, now with 13.7 degrees alcohol, but the freshness is here with laudable intensity on the palate. Drink 2013-2030
