"Some bricking but still with a ruby core. A fully mature yet relatively fresh nose flirts with sous bois and earth suffused secondary fruit aromas that introduce the rich, detailed and delicious middle weight flavors that evidence a subtle minerality on the mouth coating, velvety and impressively persistent finish. This is a lovely old school style wine that is drinking perfectly now and unlike some '85s that are now tiring, this retains good vibrancy; as such, it should continue to drink well . . . . Tasted twice in the last 2 years with scores that were close if not identical."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
