2022 Auxey-Duresses Rouge, Domaine Agnès Paquet

50% whole bunches were used here though the spicy character that often accompanies this seems very well integrated even at this early stage. Aromatically this shows the signature cues of this domaine, with an array of pretty, lifted red fruits with a light floral note. Impressive intensity follows on the palate and while the tannin is of a fine and powdery nature, there is clearly more substance and structure here that will hold the wine in good stead over the next decade or more.
