Aloxe Corton Les Chaillots 2019 Xavier Durand
Brand: Xavier Durand
We have been buying the wonderful wines of Xavier Durand ever since he took over the 12 hectare family domaine, from his father, René, at the beginning of 2011. This energetic and highly talented 30 year-old has propelled this Comblanchien-based domaine into the region’s premier league. Yields have been dramatically reduced and the emphasis is now on terroir The Aloxe-Corton comes from Les Boutières, says Xavier Durand. It's the southern tip of the Aloxe-Corton appellation, just by the Chorey-lès-Beaune border. This and Les Chaillots are two very different parcels. Les Boutières is marly clay, quite deep, heavy soil. Les Chaillots below the Chateau, and right next to the premier cru Les Valoziéres, has more red soil. There is more substance. The tannins are finer. Drink Now or Keep Beef, Lamb, Cheese Dry Medium Bodied Dense Red Pinot Noir Cote de Beaune, Burgundy Domaine Durand 2019 Contains Sulphites
