Tasted as two cuvées: "From a .35 ha parcel in Le Charlemagne: . . . . aromas of green apple, citrus and a discreet application of wood. I like the intensity and density of the middle weight plus flavors that evidence moderate minerality on the delicious and complex finish . . . . From a .50 ha parcel in Le Corton: A more restrained and more complex nose features notes of Granny Smith apples, pear, spice, floral and zest nuances. The broad-shouldered flavors are more classically styled and a bit more obviously mineral-inflected, all wrapped in a more youthfully austere, dry and lingering finale that is more tightly wound as well."

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.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
