Louis Latour : Aloxe-Corton 1er cru "Les Chaillots" 2022

Here’s the proof that Aloxe-Corton can produce well-structured and sophisticated wines. Only red fruit, but at the riper end of that spectrum, with just a hint of positive vegetal character. The healthy tannins build very nicely in the finish, and there’s a mineral freshness that gives this an extra dimension. Drink or hold.

Round and juicy, boasting strawberry, cherry, earth and oak spice notes. Turns more elegant by the finish. There's just a hint of bitterness on the finish, but a magret de canard or roasted squab should take care of that. Best from 2026 through 2039. 2,100 cases made, 450 cases imported.
