Auxey-Duresses

Boisson Frère et Soeur
Tucked into the Côte de Beaune, this white comes from a family estate where brother and sister work side by side, tending old vines on steep, stony slopes. The chalky clay soils give the Chardonnay real tension, while careful hand-harvesting keeps the fruit pristine. Fermented and aged in oak barrels, with just enough time on its lees, it gains a creamy texture without losing its bright edge. Expect white peach, citrus zest and a hint of toasted hazelnut, finishing long and mineral. Pour it with roast chicken, creamy fish dishes or a good cheese board — you'll see why it's worth knowing.
