Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,341 g. From a cool, challenging vintage. Transparent shaded garnet. Already approachable with lots of fresh fruit and a fine, neat finish. Far from dramatic and with no shortage of acidity but excellent burgundian balance. (JR)

The 2021 Auxey-Duresses Village has a perfumed, light, transparent nose with redcurrant, cranberry and touches of tomato vine. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a crisp line of acidity, and a slight chewiness on the finish. Perhaps a bit rustic compared to the 2020 last year; this should be consumed over the following decade.
Bursting with aromas of plums, orange zest and petals, Coche's 2021 Auxey-Duresses is medium-bodied, supple and lively, with a suave, melting profile that will be hard to resist on release.
