Aloxe-Corton

Medium

Cork

This substantial wine is initially a bit reticent, but warm plummy fruit aromas with a firm mineral, earthy edge begin to open on the palate. The texture is firm and dense, with grippy tannins and moderate length. The 0.39-hectare parcel downslope from Bressandes is planted with sustainably-farmed, mature vines. Mallard partially destems the fruit and ferments with a minimum of punching down to produce this silky wine that should show better in a few years and last for at least a decade.
