LAFOUGE, Auxey Duresses 1er Cru La Parapelle 2019 (1x75cl)

Purchased by Lafouge in 2012 this comes from the upper part of premier cru les Duresses (more famous for Pinot Noir) it had been abandoned until 2012 (since being destroyed by phylloxera). The stones here are white marl an ideal soil for Chardonnay (the same as the top of Meursault 1er cru Perrieres) Lafouge replanted with Chardonnay and 2019 is the vintage although young vines there is complexity here, a concentration of fruit flavours, ripe apple, pear, citrus and minerality with great freshness thanks to the altitude and aspect.
