Tasting notes
Revisited from bottle, the 2018 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Chaillots has turned out nicely, mingling aromas of sweet berry fruit with hints of spice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and youthfully chewy, I described it from barrel as hearty and structured, and this reencounter confirmed that impression.

Cask sample. Deep purplish crimson. Smells ripe, spicy and generous. Firm but refined in texture. Savoury with a touch of dark chocolate on the finish. Super-smooth and persistent too. Distinctive dark-fruited style. (JH)
