Esprit Leflaive is the negociant label of the celebrated Domaine Leflaive, created to explore fine sites across the wider Burgundy beyond the estate's home vineyards. This Auxey-Duresses Blanc is a white Burgundy from the Cote de Beaune, made from Chardonnay grown on biodynamically farmed vines.
Auxey-Duresses sits just behind the more famous villages of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, and offers a similar style in a more approachable form. This wine has a nose that is both citrusy and rich, with notes of ripe yellow peach and a touch of fresh almond. The palate is elegant and intricately structured, with a gentle richness, medium concentration and a long, lifted finish.
Fermented and matured in oak before a period of ageing in tank, it is a refined, versatile white that pairs well with poultry, creamy sauces and richer fish dishes.
