The wine region of Aloxe-Corton
Northern jewel of the Côte de Beaune housing its only red Grand Cru: signature Pinot Noir as king red (~98%) — deep ruby robe with notes of black cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, violet, leather, undergrowth and a spice touch, signature powerful and refined structure, firm tannins and long ageing. Rare, mineral Chardonnay as backup. Grand Cru Corton (red) and Corton-Charlemagne (white) crowning the hill. AOC (1938), 14 Premiers Crus, ~120 ha, marl-limestones on south-facing slopes.
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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
