NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Joseph Drouhin Aloxe-Corton is a full-bodied red Burgundy with a bright ruby color.On the nose, there are aromas of ripe red fruits, cherries and cassis, complemented by hints of smoky spices, vanilla and licorice. On the palate, the wine is intense and well-structured, with ripe tannins, juicy acidity and a long, savory finish. The flavors of blackberries, raspberries and currants mingle with notes of tobacco, leather and nutmeg. This is a well-balanced and complex wine that will reward with age.
