"A Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton with full-bodied, rich flavors—enjoy it now or let it age in the cellar!"

Located between the Côtes de Nuit and Beaune, the village of Aloxe-Corton became a distinct appellation in 1938 and serves as a gateway to the prestigious Corton and Corton-Charlemagne appellations. This Pinot Noir offers a magnificent aromatic palette of morello cherries, licorice, black pepper, tobacco, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it envelops you with its velvety texture and powdery tannins, leading to a deliciously crisp and textured finish.
