Black fruit flavors and ripe sweetness give this wine great character as well as richness. The acidity streaks through the rich fruit, leaving dark tannins to finish.

This monopole (wholly-owned vineyard) is in the heart of the village of Aloxe-Corton. The 2005 is structured and wood-dominated at this stage; the dense fruit and the sweet, ripe, red berry acidity are waiting to develop into a wine that will be rich, smooth and velvety. Give it 6 years at least.

Rich and dense, revealing ripe fruit, touches of wood and firm flavors, and a delicious juicy interior which bursts through. It revels in this fruit, all red berries and fresh acidity. To finish, there is some toasty wood.

Showing a delicate side of Burgundy, this wine is all about attractive fruits, plenty of raspberries, a layer of enticing tannins and delicious juicy acidity. It shows the richness, but also the seductiveness of Pinot Noir.

Complex and structured, this has rich tannins and a strawberry jam flavor from the ripe fruit. With its fine balance between the dry core and the fruity exterior, this should be cellared for at least four years.
