More pure crème de cassis

sour cherries

This smells like apricot tarte tatin with notes of toasted nuts and caramelized bananas

Full-bodied and delivering limestone

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru, Cote de Beaune, France 2019 Markos Vineyards More pure crème de cassisThe Auxey Duresses 1er Cru is a blend of Les Duresses and Les Grands Champs. It has a higher toned bouquet than the Village Cru, pressed iris commingling with autumn leaves matched with blueberry and strawberry fruit. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannins, a fine citric bead of acidity and with plenty of blueberry and blackberry towards the finish. Polished in style, this will be very tempting in its youth.
