Tasting notes
The 2016 Auxey-Duresses Blanc comes from purchased grapes that are farmed biodynamically and certified, which is why it is labelled Leflaive & Associé instead of Domaine Leflaive. It has a slightly bashful bouquet with orange rind and a welcome touch of blackcurrant. The palate is simple but fresh with a keen line of acidity, a touch of salinité toward the finish of moderate length. It is a little conservative, but that suits it down to the ground.
