2020 Aloxe-Corton, Domaine Follin-Arbelet, Burgundy

Description

The 2020 Aloxe-Corton, by Domaine Follin-Arbelet, is from two plots: La Toppe Martineau (southwest) and Boulmeau (southeast). They have recently planted Chardonnay in the latter also. This has everything you could want from a wine at this level: bright, crunchy, easy fruit; sufficient substance to lift it above generic; and just enough of the chunky style that differentiates Aloxe from other villages’ offerings.

Cask sample

Good price! Solid purple-berry fruit. Nothing desperately subtle but serviceable.

Deep purple without the black, sweeter, simpler and oakier, than the excellent Fichots, still with the good acidity of the vintage, no more than medium length. Attractive and the tannins are not rustic.

The 2020 Aloxe-Corton Village felt a little muted on the nose, reluctantly opening with blackberry, briary and light briny aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. Strict and focused but with commendable delineation on the sapid finish. It lacks a little flair, but it should give a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure.

About this wine

Aloxe-Corton

Aloxe-Corton

These two Grand Cru vineyards, Corton and Corton-Charlemagne, lie astride three villages at the northern end of the Côte de Beaune: Ladoix, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. The main body of the hill of Corton faces due south, with the white wines mostly coming from the west and south-west expositions. Corton is almost entirely red but there are a few white wines too.
