Domaine Potinet Ampeau Auxey Duresses 1er Cru Bas des Duresses 1997 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

Highlights

From a 2.39-hectare Premier Cru Bas des Duresses plot in Auxey-Duresses, produced by a five-generation domaine spanning ten hectares across Meursault, Pommard, Volnay and Monthelie; traditional Burgundian vinification is applied—hand-sorting, maceration in concrete vats, mechanical pressing and ageing in oak barrels, and the cuvée is crafted for extended cellar ageing. The wine offers depth and complexity on the palate with an evolving finish suited to long cellar maturation.

Present for five generations in Monthelie, Domaine Potinet-Ampeau spans ten hectares, spread across the most beautiful villages of the Côte de Beaune: Meursault, Pommard, Volnay, and Monthelie. Faithful to its heritage, the estate is dedicated to producing long-aging wines that evolve beautifully over time. Contrary to the current trend of wines to be drunk young, here, each cuvée is designed to be patient in the cellar and fully reveal its potential over the years. Its unique character? A bold stance in favor of long-aging wines, distinguished by their depth and complexity.

A traditional Burgundian vinification approach: hand-sorting, maceration in concrete vats, mechanical pressing, and static settling. The wines are then racked into oak barrels for ageing

Bas Des Duresses is one of the smallest Premier Cru vineyards of Auxey-Duresses in the Côte de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy. As its name suggests, the 2.39 hectare (5.91 acre) plot sits at the lower end of the larger Les Duresses site, separted by a minor road.

All the village's Premiers Crus lie on the slopes of the Montagne de Bourdon hillside. Along with Les Duresses, Bas des Duresses has more of a southeasterly aspect as the slope curves away from Auxey-Duresses village.
