Aloxe-Corton

1er Cru Fournières

The Fourrières could be attached to "Fourneaux", "Derrière le Four" or "le fourneau". We see at this place some remains of bricks and chimneys that must have worked for cooking food.

A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
