    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Lovely bright luminous red colour with a purple tinge, exquisitely fine, supple but so precise, such quality of tannins, some griotte notes with a saltiness to lift the finish. Classy, a superb chapitre. The lighter sandier clay and limestone soils of the Clos du Chapitre tends to make for a finer, rounder and fruitier style of Aloxe than the classic vineyards such as Fournières and Vercots.

    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    The 2017 Aloxe-Corton Clos de Chapitre 1er Cru has a rustic nose, with plenty of undergrowth/damp mossy scents filtering through the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a prickle of black pepper, cohesive but just missing some weight towards the finish. Drinking perfectly now, I can't see how this will reward long-term cellaring.
