Domaine Roulot Auxey-Duresses Blanc 2024 750ml

Product Info

From one of Burgundy's most revered white wine producers, Jean-Marc Roulot's Auxey-Duresses Blanc offers a compelling opportunity to experience the domaine's unmistakable precision and elegance beyond its celebrated Meursault vineyards. Situated just west of Meursault, the village of Auxey-Duresses is increasingly recognized for producing beautifully mineral-driven Chardonnay of exceptional character and finesse.

The 2024 Auxey-Duresses Blanc reflects Roulot's signature approach, emphasizing freshness, purity, and terroir expression rather than overt richness. Delicate aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and spring blossoms are complemented by subtle hints of crushed stone and lightly toasted almond. The palate is lively and finely textured, with vibrant acidity, restrained fruit, and a pronounced mineral character leading to a clean, persistent, saline finish.

While sharing the remarkable attention to detail found in Roulot's more prestigious Meursault bottlings, the Auxey-Duresses offers a distinctly energetic and approachable expression of white Burgundy. Its combination of tension, elegance, and understated complexity makes it particularly appealing to those who appreciate Chardonnay with freshness and definition.

Produced in limited quantities, this is an excellent introduction to the artistry of Jean-Marc Roulot and a beautifully refined expression of one of the Côte de Beaune's increasingly sought-after appellations.
