Tasting
The nose of our Aloxe-Corton features woody, elegant and spicy aromas that evolve into notes of very ripe red fruit. Endowed with very supple tannic structure, this well-balanced wine boasts lovely, pleasing, velvety tannins with just a hint of sweetness. The finish is long and aromatic, reminiscent of the fruity aromas perceived on the nose.
