Albert Bichot - Aloxe-Corton - Rouge - 2022

Wine:

Buoyed by a remarkable vintage, the 2022 red Aloxe-Corton stands out for its brilliant hue, a sign of perfectly ripe Pinot Noir. Delicate and fresh, with good red fruit and fine tannins, it has a fresh, acidic texture throughout, adding to the pleasure of tasting. This is a fine Pinot Noir, lightly oaked, persistent and tasty, which can be aged over a decade and enjoyed at the table with a veal chop, for example.
