Domaine Lafouge Auxey-Duresses Les Ecusseaux 2016

Its bright ruby color is neither too light nor too dark. The nose, too, is well-balanced between rich aromas of small black fruits (blackcurant, blackberry, bilberry…) and flower scents (peony).

In the mouth, the attack is refined and supple, measured, meaty and pleasing. When young, there may be a touch of astringency but its tannins soon soften and its texture becomes velvety and it develops musky notes, as well as those of leather and spices.
