Auxey-Duresses AC
[awk-SAY dew-RESS]
A minor wine-producing APPELLATION centered around the village of Auxey-Duresses in the CÔTE DE BEAUNE area of France’s BURGUNDY region. This area produces good wines—reds from PINOT NOIR and white wines from CHARDONNAY—but they’re overshadowed by the superb wines of neighboring MEURSALT. Auxey-Duresses contains several PREMIER CRU vineyards, but much of the wine produced in this appellation is sold under the name Côte de Beaune-Villages AC.
