"Discreet wood serves as a backdrop for the beautifully layered, ripe and complex nose of dark berry fruit, pungent earth, wet stone and plenty of the classic Corton sauvage character. There is fine concentration to the relatively supple and round medium-bodied flavors that display good power and plenty of dry extract that should be able to successfully integrate the wood toast that arrives on the lingering finish. I very much like the balance and this should amply reward . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
