Honey and spice characterize the nose of this chewy, mouth coating, enormously deep, muscular and broad shouldered flavors with a stunningly concentrated, rich and long back end. Still quite tight and indeed closed and could easily rival a great Bâtard in sheer size, depth, power and length though the flavor profile is different. A genuinely great effort.
About the producer
Domaine d’Auvenay is part of the Leroy empire (along with Domaine Leroy and Maison Leroy). It is named after Lalou Bize-Leroy’s home, an old hunting lodge outside Saint-Romain in the hills above Auxey-Duresses, which she shared with her husband Marcel until he passed away in 2004.
