Domaine Chapuis Aloxe-Corton 2019

The Vineyard: Our vines grow on a soil of clay and limestone. Aloxe-Corton is one of the first villages of the Côte de Beaune as it occupies a pivotal position between Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Aloxe-Corton wines combine the subtlety of the wines of the Côtes de Beaune and the power of the wines of the Côte de Nuits.

Grape Variety: Pinot noir

Appellation: Village

Location: Aloxe-Corton

Tasting notes: The wine has a beautiful bright cherry hue.

Its first nose reveals caramel aroma, after a rapid evolution, some raspberries and strawberries appear. When tasting it, one

is aware of its tannins that hold a good aging potential.

Aging: in a dark, humid, not necessarily underground cellar, shielded from harmful influences such as vibrations. 11°C is considered the ideal temperature but maintaining consistency is what really matters. Its aging potential is about 10 years.

The Vintage: 2019 was a hot year. The harvest took place on the 12th of September (whereas we usually start picking around September 25th.) Thus, we picked sound, fully ripe grapes and we obtained very fruity wines which can be served soon.
