The Corton hill lies to the North of the end of the Côte de de Nuits where vines mingle with stone quarries. The vineyards form a kind of amphitheater which is not found elsewhere in the Côte. On the Southern side of the appellation, the dark soils are made up of limestone debris while those on the Northern side, are mainly pebbly. The wines are smooth and distinguished.
The Vineyard: Our Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru is a blend of 3 Premier Cru plots: Les Vercots, Les Guérets, situated South of the village, which give it its structure and its power, and Les Valozières, which has an Eastern aspect and is located just below the Grand Cru Corton Les Bressandes. This location contributes to adding all the subtlety necessary to produce a well- balanced, concentrated, deep wine.
Grape Variety: Pinot noir
Appellation: Premier Cru
Location: Aloxe-Corton
Tasting notes : This wine has a beautiful ruby hue.
Its nose reveals a delicious bouquet of
cherry. Its mouth reveals his strength and spices aromas.
Aging: in a dark, humid, not necessarily underground cellar, shielded from harmful influences such as vibrations. 11°C is considered the ideal temperature but maintaining consistency is what really matters. Its aging potential is about 20 years but it’s already ready to drink.
Vintage: 2019 was a hot year. The harvest took place on the 12th of September (whereas we usually start picking around September 25th.) Thus, we picked sound, fully ripe grapes and we obtained very fruity wines which can be served soon.
