Jean-Philippe Fichet, Auxey Duresses Blanc Vintage:2020 Tasted at the Alheit seminar

Tasted at the Alheit seminar with Chris Alheit in London

Here too the nose is quite cool and restrained with its similar aromas of essence of red cherry

The powerful finish is spicy and dusty with terrific intensity and ends on a note of velvet

both of which add breadth to the citrus and floral infused white orchard fruit aromas

There is just enough reduction to mask the underlying fruit but not the floral and spice nuances

Jean-Philippe Fichet, Auxey Duresses Blanc Vintage:2020 Tasted at the Alheit seminar(from the lieux dits Nampoillon and Largillas). There is a whiff of petrol character to the green apple, lemongrass and discreet floral scents. The sleek, intense and stony medium weight flavors that possess an attractive texture and notably better complexity on the sneaky long finish. This is potentially excellent for its level.
