Tasting notes: "The 2021 Auxey-Duresses Blanc Les Hautés is one of the standouts this year, as is so often the case, unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, lemon and lime zest mingled with notions of white flowers and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with racy acids and an elegantly muscular profile.

About the winery: Domaine Jean-Marc Vincent is a small estate in Santenay, Burgundy, managed by Jean-Marc and Anne Marie. They cultivate the vineyard close to organic farming and use caterpillar-tracked engines instead of heavy machines. They "tress" their vines and plant them in high density, resulting in wines of exceptional intensity. Harvest is done by hand and sorted in the vineyard. The estate is known for its traditional methods and respect for Jean Marc's grandfather's traditions.
