Details and technical informations about Winery Jean Lefort's Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru.
Discover the grape variety: Zweigelt
Supple and fruity reds with a vivid ruby colour, soft tannins and snappy acidity, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, red plum and gentle spices. Made as easy-drinking young reds and as more structured, oak-aged cellar wines. The most planted red variety in Austria (Burgenland, Carnuntum, Neusiedlersee), created in 1922 by Friedrich Zweigelt in Klosterneuburg, a cross of saint laurent × blaufränkisch.

The wine region of Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru
14 Premier Cru climates on the slopes of the Corton hill (Côte de Beaune), east/southeast exposure. Mostly Pinot Noir with more structured and full-bodied profiles than village wines: deep ruby, nose of cherry, raspberry, spices, undergrowth and liquorice evolving to peony, spices and truffle. Iron-rich clay-limestone soils with flint debris at 200-300 m. Structured palate with firm tannins, minimum 5-15 years ageing, power and elegance combined.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Expressive
