The 2019 Domaine Comte Armand Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru Rouge is a stunner, exhibiting aromas of dark fruits, spices, and earthy undertones. A powerful yet refined palate, layered with ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, and blueberry lifted by subtle spice and a hint of candied orange peel on the finish. Under the leadership of talented winemakers like Benjamin Leroux and now Paul Zinetti, Domaine Comte Armand emphasises minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar. Hand-harvesting, natural fermentations, and careful oak aging create wines that balance power, elegance, and precision, with remarkable aging potential and complexity. The appellation’s grandest domaine, Comte Armand regularly feature as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy Special Reports.
