Tasting notes
The very fresh nose of red fruit and herbs leads you gently into this cool and lively pinot noir, which starts out quite light, but builds in power and weight as it flows across the palate. Good length. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Chaillots is promising, delivering aromas of cassis, plums, petals and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with lively acids and powdery tannins, it's a fine rendition of this site that sits just below the grands crus.
