Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru 'Les Valozières'
Aloxe-Corton
Wedged directly between the Grand Crus Corton-Bressandes and Corton-Pougets, mid-slope on Corton's east-facing side - clay-limestone soil that ripens early and gives a wine with real depth: dark cherry, graphite, a decade or more of aging ahead of it.
Vintages
- 2021
The smallest Burgundy vintage in thirty years, hit hard by spring frost. What survived is cool-climate, classical Burgundy: lighter, moderate in alcohol, with a firm mineral core - built for drinking sooner rather than for the very long haul, and always going to be hard to find given how little was made.
- 2020
Another warm year, but one that avoided 2018 and 2019's occasional over-ripeness. Excellent phenolic grip and linear acidity, widely considered the best vintage since 2017 for capturing real differences between terroirs.
