Description
Domaine Labry Auxey-Duresses Blanc is a refined, beautifully structured white Burgundy hailing from one of the Côte de Beaune's best-kept secrets. Tucked away just around the corner from prestigious neighbours like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses produces crisp, characterful white wines that offer exceptional quality and elegance. Crafted by third-generation winemaker Sophie Labry, this 100% Chardonnay bottling delivers striking mineral drive, vibrant fruit, and authentic Burgundian charm.
Why You'll Love It
This is a brilliant option for lovers of classic, terroir-driven white Burgundy seeking outstanding balance without the steep price tag of its world-famous neighbours. Domaine Labry focuses on sustainable viticulture and sensitive oak integration, allowing the natural limestone freshness of the site to shine. It combines a lively, energetic palate with a subtly rounded, nutty complexity, making it an incredibly versatile white for gourmet dining or refined cellaring.
Vineyard & Production
The Chardonnay grapes are grown on high-altitude, steep hillside plots near the hamlet of Melin, where the soils are composed of limestone and white marl. Domaine Labry practices eco-friendly viticulture with grass planted between the rows to encourage natural bio-diversity. Following a careful harvest, the juice undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled vats and is aged in French oak barrels for 9 to 12 months. This moderate oak influence coaxes out subtle woody tannins and textural richness while preserving the crisp, mineral core of the fruit.
Tasting Notes
Displaying a brilliant pale golden hue with crystal clarity, this wine opens with an intense, elegant bouquet of white flowers, lemon zest, green apple, and fresh almond, alongside a distinct flinty minerality. On the palate, it exhibits a clean, focused attack that develops into a well-rounded, harmonious mid-palate filled with white peach, subtle vanilla, and delicate buttery nuances. A vibrant line of refreshing acidity carries through to a long, persistent, and satisfyingly mineral-laced finish.
Perfect Pairings
Thanks to its vibrant acidity and rich texture, this white Burgundy is a spectacular food partner. It pairs magnificently with pan-seared sea bass, roasted turbot, grilled prawns, and scallops served in a light cream or herb sauce. It is also an excellent companion to roasted poultry, pork tenderloin with mustard sauce, creamy mushroom risotto, and classic French cheeses such as Gruyère, Comté, and mature goat's cheese.
