We have found a dozen of these pristine magnums in a Burgundy cellar. Limit 2 per Client. "Antoinette Boillot came from a long-established family in Burgundy. In 1898 she gifted her domaine in Auxey-Duresses, Meursault and Volnay to the Hospices. The vines were planted between 1963 and 1980 on what is arguably Auxey’s fnest 1st Growth. This Cuvée can be one of the greatest values in the auction. Purple colour. Firm, medium body wine with great intensity of fruit with a fine
underlying acidity, leading to a fresh, tense, very persistent finish." - Hospices-Beaune.com

Father Henri Boillot and son Guillaume, are great winemakers who mostly work with their own vines. Jasper Morris says "This is a domaine which succeeds in equally with red and white wines" and on the vineyard he says "the wines are relatively full bodied by Auxey standards. But do not expect anything soft and gentle from a wine labelled Les Duresses."
