Domaine Labry Auxey-Duresses 2022 – Auxey-Duresses

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color. The first nose is fruity and subtly spicy. It expresses the gourmet notes of juicy stone fruits (white peach, ripe apricot, Mirabelle plum in the background), combined with aromas of fresh pineapple, fresh lemon and candied lemon, as well as notes of vanilla, nutmeg and cloves. After aeration, we find the woody notes of toasted oak, toasted hazelnut, dried almond, as well as a honeyed and floral touch (flower honey, infused linden, acacia, apple blossom), associated with gourmet lactic hints (vanilla yogurt, browned butter) and a touch of toasted brioche. The palate is expressive and offers complex, precise and pronounced flavors. In attack, we find woody, spicy and lactic notes (heated oak, toasted hazelnut, toasted almond, vanilla yogurt, browned butter, toasted brioche, fresh vanilla, nutmeg, cloves). In the mid-palate, they are enveloped in a juicy and ripe fruity substance (flavors of yellow peach, ripe apricot, white peach, fresh lemon, candied lemon, fresh pineapple and mango in the background). The finish also offers a sweet hint of honey and a fine floral bouquet (apple blossom, acacia, dried lime). A fragrant wine, rich in flavors, but refined. The finish is persistent and fresh, with good bitterness of chestnut honey and salivating acidity.
