Description : 
It was in 1924 that the village of Auxey joined its name to that of their best parcel of vines "Les Duresses" therefore becoming Auxey-Duresses. This village is graced with the prestigious neighbours of Pommard and Volnay, and whilst these two communes produce uniquely reds the commune of Auxey-Duresses produces reds on the hill of Bourdon which is an extension of Volnay and then whites on the fine soils on the Mélian hill. The Auxey-Duresses whites are generally speaking flattering and smooth without being too heavy. However the whites only represent a quarter of the total production and therefore are sufficiently rare to not miss a chance to try them!
