Structured, a little austere in its youth, it is the kind of Pinot Noir that needs a little time to give itself up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAloxe-Corton occupies the base of the famous hill of Corton, at the hinge between Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The red soils, rich in clay and in iron oxide, give the Pinot Noir a more assertive structure and colour than in the rest of the Côte de Beaune. The exposure changes with the position around the hill, from east to south. The style of the village is recognisable: black fruit, firm tannins, a spicy and earthy side that rounds out after a few years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChâteau de Meursault\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the finest estates of the Côte de Beaune. The Moulin Foulot fief, from which it comes, dates back to the 11th century. Bought in 2012 by Olivier Halley, the estate has since expanded its vineyard: 65 hectares spread over about a hundred plots, farmed under certified organic agriculture, which give five Grands Crus, twenty Premiers Crus and a dozen village and regional appellations. The estate sells entirely direct, 100 % of its production comes from its own vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Bourgogne, Côte de Beaune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aloxe-Corton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château de Meursault\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 100 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark ruby with violet highlights, fine density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice, undergrowth, a peppery note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm and tight tannins, compact matter, a spicy finish that calls for a substantial dish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Aloxe-Corton at 15 to 17 °C.

The grapes there develop thick skins, so more colouring matter and more tannin, hence wines that are firmer and slower to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShould it be decanted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen young, yes. An hour is enough to soften the tannins and release the fruit. Past eight years, prefer careful serving without rough pouring: the bottle will have done the work and violent contact with the air can tire the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free in France on orders from 300 €.
