Domaine Arnoux - Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Fournières 2018
With a deep ruby color, it beautifully expresses fine and delicate aromas of red berries (raspberry, strawberry, cherry) in its youth, then black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) combined with pepper, nutmeg, and other spices over time. With beautiful intensity on the palate and elegant oak notes, its distinguished tannins perfectly express the warm character expected of this premier cru.
