Auxey-Duresses

Auxey-Duresses is located at the threshold of a valley which, from the Côte de Beaune, plunges into the Hautes Côtes on the road to La Rochepot and Autun. Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée established in 1937. Nature clearly demarcates reds and whites. As an extension of Volnay and Monthélie, the Bourdon mountain has a very stony marl-limestone base which gives its impetus to the Duresses, Climat exposed east and south-east. Very limestone, the Climat of the Val faces the south. The marl prevails over the limestone at La Chapelle. The fineness of the soil of Mont Mélian announces Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, paradise for white wines.
