Domaine Antonin Guyon - Aloxe-Corton 1er cru - Les Vercots - Red - 2020

Wine:

The 2020 Red Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots offers impressive depth and concentration. This exceptional vintage showcases ripe cherry notes from the Pinot Noir, with subtle oak still present in its youth. The palate is rich and structured, with the elegance and power you'd expect from a Premier Cru. While it will benefit from another two years of aging, its freshness and bold fruit promise to evolve beautifully over the next six to eight years. Rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee.
