    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Earthier, broader and more powerful than the estate's other wines, but as Aloxes go, this is as fine as its gets. Earthy bramble and loganberry fruit with a glossy texture carrying the flavours across the palate. This builds further momentum as it rolls towards the finish, revealing notes of sweet spice, plum and damson. 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 fermentation. Aged in 20% new oak barrels for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.

    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    The 2020 Aloxe-Corton Clos de Chapitre 1er Cru has an elegant nose that needed a little coaxing, a mixture of blueberry and black cherry fruit, quite sensual though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, taut and fresh, a touch of acidity with an cracked black pepper note that perks up the finish. Drink this over the next 12 to 15 years.
