Domaine des Croix Les Boutières – Aloxe-Corton – Red – 2020:

 

Domaine Des Croix: The Elegance of Aloxe-Corton ‘Les Boutières’

Hailing from the esteemed Côte de Beaune, the DOMAINE DES CROIX ALOXE CORTON RGE LES BOUTIERES ROUGE is a definitive statement in structured Pinot Noir. The ‘Les Boutières’ Climat, situated on the famous Corton hill, imbues this wine with a distinct mineral tension and a firm, age-worthy backbone. David Croix’s philosophy of minimal intervention and organic farming allows the unique terroir to shine, resulting in a wine of exceptional purity and profound depth. This is a classic Burgundy that will richly reward careful cellaring.

Sommelier’s Insight: Flavour Profile

• Colour: Intense ruby, bordering on garnet with age.
• Aroma: Highly complex, leading with concentrated black cherry and wild berry fruit, layered with typical tertiary notes of truffle, mushroom, and fine cinnamon spice.
• Taste: Full-bodied and vigorous, yet supremely refined. The tannins are solid but distinguished, providing a lovely chewiness that is perfectly matched by the wine’s generous fruit and lengthy, sapid finish. An outstanding example of the appellation’s potential.

Perfect Matches & Decanting

This powerful red demands forceful, aromatic dishes. We recommend serving between 15°C and 16°C. Decanting for an hour before service is advised to soften its distinguished tannins and allow the bouquet to fully unfold.
