"A Pinot Noir from Aloxe Corton with full-bodied, generous flavors, to be enjoyed now or left to age in the cellar!"

Located between the Côtes de Nuit and Beaune, the village of Aloxe-Corton became an appellation in its own right in 1938 and offers 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. Its velvety texture and powdery tannins will envelop your palate, leading to a deliciously crisp and textured finish.
