Tasting notes
Pale garnet. Light, very authentically burgundian nose. Bone dry with light suggestion of undergrowth and fresh vegetation. Fairly lightweight. I fear it may be overwhelmed by the duck that will be served with it. Should be served relatively cool. (JR)

The 2010 Auxey-Duresses Village surpasses anything you could imagine from a humble cru. Deep in color, it has an extremely pure, almost glossy bouquet with macerated small dark cherries, creme de cassis and blueberry that is beautifully defined – almost “nubile.” The tannins and supple and lithe, the acidity perfectly pitch and the finish stupendously powerful, dare I say audacious for an Auxey-Duresses. Quite astonishing, and it will drink for ten+ years. Drink 2015-2025. Tasted November 2013. Here is another raft of wines from the most feted and yet still mysterious Cote de Beaune growers. Jean-Francois Coche’s reds are more elusive than his whites, but they can be astonishing. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
Very bright crimson. Racy, lacy, sweet. Precise and chewy but with more obvious fruit than the Bourgogne Rouge. Actually rather smooth fruit. Lots of pleasure ahead. (JR)
