Léonce Bocquet, Auxey Duresses 2019 White

Léonce Bocquet Auxey-Duresses 2019 White brings together the elegance of Burgundy with the legacy of one of the region’s most influential 19th-century wine figures. Named for Léonce Bocquet, the celebrated wine merchant and producer who helped preserve Château du Clos de Vougeot, this wine reflects the historic depth and craftsmanship associated with the Côte de Beaune.

Production
Produced in Burgundy’s Auxey-Duresses appellation, this white wine comes from a region known for its cool climate and limestone-rich soils, which help preserve freshness and precision. While detailed vinification information is not provided, wines from this area are typically harvested by hand and fermented with a focus on purity, balance, and expression of terroir.

Food & Serving
This style of Burgundy white pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes, white fish, shellfish, and soft cheeses. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C to allow its texture and aromatic detail to show at their best; decanting is usually not necessary, though a little air can help if the wine is showing tightly on opening.

Producer
Léonce Bocquet was a 19th-century wine merchant and winemaker whose influence on Burgundy remains significant. He was instrumental in rescuing Château du Clos de Vougeot in 1889 and is also remembered for his role in promoting and distributing fine Burgundy wines across Europe. His discovery of Beaune’s cellars as ideal wine storage helped shape the region’s famous network of interconnected underground cellars, a lasting contribution to Burgundy’s wine heritage.
