Domaine Leflaive Auxey-Duresses offers a lovely nose, both lemony and rich, with a touch of fresh almond and a palate which offers medium concentration, fuller than the lighter Puligny style, a light richness and good length. Beautifully balanced and from a region that is gaining quite a following.
