"This is both slightly riper and notably more refined with its elegant mélange of mostly cool red berry fruit aromas that are liberally seeded with stone, spice, earth and black tea hints. There is excellent richness, intensity, energy and focused power to the attractively well-delineated flavors that display the same fine complexity as the nose. The sleekly muscular, beautifully balanced and impressively lingering finish is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins and this should amply reward . . . cellar time."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
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.
