Domaine Roulot Auxey Duresses Rouge 1er Cru (2020)

Perfumed cherry fruit, with floral notes and a perfect purity of fruit. The texture is supple and round. As winemaker Paul Delorme noted: ‘All the work is in the fermentation, after that it’s done, contrary to the whites.’ This is blended from the lieux-dits Bas de Duresses and Grand Champs. The grapes are partially destemmed (30% whole-cluster) and fermented with a careful extraction prior to ageing in mostly used casks.
