Tasting notes
Ruby red with a perfume of cherry and liquorice, typical of Pinot. On tasting it is round but still a little tight. With time this will evolve beautifully.
Description
Aloxe-Corton is the native village of the Latour family. The name "Les Chaillots" refers to the stony, pebbly nature of the soil in the vineyard, as "caillou" means pebble in French. There is an alliance in the wines of Aloxe-Corton between the finesse of the Cote de Beaune and the mellow, powerful appeal of the Cote de Nuits.
