2021 Aloxe Corton Les Fournieres

The 2021 Aloxe-Corton Les Fournières 1er Cru, which is half the normal production, has a lovely nose with vibrant red fruit, violet and iris scents. This is beautifully defined. The palate is very smooth in texture thanks to its supple tannins and appealing blue fruit. Yes, it might be missing a bit of complexity on the finish, but it has an alluring texture throughout.
