Press review
    • Aloxe-Corton 2019 - 88 pts - Burghound April 2021
    • Aloxe-Corton 2013 - Burghound.com - Avril 2015 - 88/100A markedly earthy and overtly sauvage nose offers up notes of various dark berries, plum and oak. The supple, round and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors terminate in a slightly edgy and  rustic finale where the wood telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. This is on the ligher side and should drink well almost immediately.
