Aloxe Corton


See Aloxe Corton producers See a list of Aloxe Corton wines See map

Thes 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 an extended flank exposed to the east, and another facing westwards. The white wines mostly come from west and south-west expositions, along with a narrow band around the top of the hill.

The Emperor Charlemagne owned vines here in the eight century, and legend has it that his wife insisted he planted white grapes so as not to spill red wine down his beard and clothes. Corton Charlemagne is always white and there is also a theoretical grand cru appellation called just Charlemagne, which is never used. Corton is almost entirely red but there are a few white wines too.

Ladoix is a rarely seen appellation as most wine here is sold as Côte de Beaune Villages. Aloxe Corton is better- known, but as with Ladoix the best vineyards have been designated as Corton and Corton Charlemagne.

"A little seen but well situated vineyard, below Le Corton. Thibault buys in the grapes here from a parcel of vines which he supervises. This is a very stylish wine with plenty of meat to it"

The pretty pink-purple colour of this wine indicates its delicate and stylish personality. Very fragrant, this has plenty of rose petal infused fruit in the mouth. The gentle tannins are supported by a long, perfumed finish. Elegant and utterly delightful.

As always with Chandon de Briailles, the lightish colour belies the concentration of fruit in the mouth.

There is an exotic aspect to this wine with its deliciously rich nose and touch of pineapple, but a fine fresh finish holds it together. This will be very tempting even in youth.

Benjamin has crafted a fine, floral, supremely elegant Corton which displays great intensity on the palate but which has, above all, a marvellous sense of dancing minerality. This wine is for the long haul.

Every year Camille Giroud provides us with a textbook Corton and this year is no exception. The marvellous Rognets is particularly stylish in 2006 and yet has an extra weight of fruit at the back before the pure, fine aftertaste kicks in. Quite superb.
