Aloxe-Corton
A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
Vineyard
The Montagne de Corton forms an exemplary geological section. The vines are exposed from east to west. The northern part is the most tender and fruity; the southern part, the most solid and structured. The stony soils produce supple and distinguished wines; more clayey and marly soils, firm and complex wines.

Tasting
Tasting note
This wine seduces with its bright aromas of fresh red fruits, where raspberry dominates with delicacy. On the palate, it is crunchy with a well-blended tannin structure, offering a nice freshness.
Food pairings
Ideal with the grilled red meats, but also served with soft cheeses such as l'Epoisses or l'Ami du Chambertin.
