Aloxe Corton, Clos du Chapitre, 1er Cru, 2016

justerini & brooks tasting note

A gripping intense and structured wine sits beneath a velvey surface. Firm but intricately woven tannins thread the earthy, mineral notes together with the dark and red hedgerow and forest berry fruit. Serious and layered, a true vin de garde. A magnificent due south-facing parcel of 50 year old vines towards the bottom of the Clos where the soil is redder clay than further up, with traces of flint and limestone. De-stalked prior to ferementation. Aged in 20% new oak barrels for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.
