Aloxe Corton, Clos du Chapitre, 1er Cru, 2020

A more statuesque offering than the villages with a deeper register of fruit, more concentration and power. Sumptuous dark fruits, sweet earth notes and a firm core of ripe dense tannins suggest this will take a little time to reveal all its qualities. 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 Fournieres and Vercots.
