Alain Gras, Auxey-Duresses Tres Vieilles Vignes 2021

The Auxey-Duresses Très Vieilles Vignes from Gras opens with enticing aromas of plums, raw cocoa, sweet berries, and earthy soil. This medium-bodied wine is a bit more robust and muscular compared to its Saint-Romain counterpart, with lively acidity and a long, lingering finish. Sourced from a vineyard parcel that celebrated its centennial several years ago, this wine offers depth and complexity.
