"I drank this amazing wine last night with friends at Dal Pescatore Santini restaurant near Cremona, Italy. Coche is a legendary white winemaker. This was extraordinary in depth and finesse. Full-bodied yet bright and silky. It was almost like a red wine texturally. Ginger, cooked apple and light cream. Then gun metal and flint. It still seems closed and tight. Decant before serving."

Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
