Vin rouge from the North of the Côte de Beaune; from the small appellation of Aloxe-Corton, which makes more red than white wine due to its proximity to Corton, the Côte de Beaune’s only red wine Grand Cru appellation.
Aged cherry, the suggestion of leather and glue, almost like a cobbler’s. Not a grand vin, slightly perfumed, slightly hot fruit, feels like it will fade from here on rather than develop further secondaries. 1999 was an excellent although apparently forward vintage, and I feel this wine has already shot the best of its bolt.
