Comte Armand, Auxey-Duresses, 1er Cru, 2018 - Hammonds

As usual, this is a 60-40 blend of two of Auxey’s best sites: Les Breterins and Bas de Duresses. Everything was de-stemmed and there is just over 20% new oak. This is ripe but with brisk acidity, as ever. Rich, sweet fruit and a silky texture; it’s delicious.
