Domaine Matrot Auxey-Duresses 2016 Review

Channeling the Beaune for real, this wine is heavy on the nose and light on the palate. The nose is dense, all about dark cherry, vanilla, cloves and other baking spices. It’s a nice swoon. On the palate though, the wine floats. The mouthfeel is lithe, with a velvet quality. For $40 it’s a great intro into the delicate power of this area of Burgundy.
