"A Pinot Noir from Aloxe Corton with full-bodied, generous flavors, to be enjoyed now or laid to rest 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, offering 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 you on the palate, with a deliciously crisp, textured finish.
