This wine is blended from 5 different plots: Les Caillettes, Les Morais, Les Bruyères, Les Boutieres, and Les Nujot which are located on the lower slopes of the Corton hill. The Aloxe-Corton is the quintessence of all the Pinot Noir qualities and aromas and is considered among the best of the village appellations in the Côte de Beaune. Average age of the vines is 30 years. 3,500 bottles produced. Pairs well with poultry and aged cheeses.
100% Pinot Beurot aged for 12 months in 50% new oak.
Decanter Review:
This lovely version of Pinot Gris has impressive depth, with aromas of quince, apricot, and grapefruit, and a texture that manages to be dense and lively at once. There is a lovely richness, yet a fresh acidity brings everything into balance. This wine is exotic in the world of Burgundy, but it retains its identity all the same. Although this is 'only' a village-level wine, it has the substance to age, and my experience with older vintages suggests the 2022 would be great in a decade or more.
