Aloxe Corton, 2021

Pretty backward on the nose but on the palate there’s a lovely combination of briary fruit, and fine salt with plenty of grip and structure below. There’s some real material here but plenty of finesse too; hedgerow fruits, salty griotte cherries, wild rosehip and bramble all nicely picked out across the palate. This is a striking wine that has some real depth and charisma for a wine of mere Village status. From a parcel of vines planted on chalk and limestone soils that produce atypically round, alluring Aloxe-Cortons.
