3 is a remarkable edition of an Islay whiskey from the legendary Bruichladdich distillery

the first two years that these young vines bore fruit happened to fall into the two coolest vintages on record for the area and despite tiny yields (less than a pound per plant on average)

The soils of the Wairau Valley are self-draining and nutrient-rich

2023/24 Auxey-Duresses, Ropiteau Freres bruichladdich 3 is a remarkable editionClosed between Volnay and Meursault, lie Auxey Duresses, which with only 150 ha is a small production with less than 4,000 bottles annually. 100% Chardonnay with undertones of green apples and peaches. Fine minerality that goes hand in hand with the acidity and gives an absolutely fantastic smooth wine with a good long aftertaste. Should be stored for a few years and can therefore be drunk from 2024.
