Pinot Noir from Cote d’Or, Burgundy, France

Winemaker Notes

Tollot-Beaut’s Aloxe-Corton is from vines planted between 1973 and 1993. The wine shows aromas and flavors of red cherries, red plum, violets, and earth with bright acidity and moderate tannins. It aged for 18 months in 30% new Burgundian pièce.

Red Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food-friendly.

Wine Spectator – 90 Points

This supple, fruity style is laced with cherry, berry, smoke and spice flavors. Vibrant and harmonious through the lingering, graphite-tinged finish. Drink now through 2030. 700 cases made, 80 cases imported.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
