Clos du Chapitre Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

I frankly don’t know how we had this bottle in storage but I saw it and decided to pull it and am glad that I did! Really a lovely premier cru burg. Quite a nice soft fruit and earth character. Maybe a notch less aromatically expressive than one would want but the seamlessness and depth on the palate makes up for it. Opened a few hours ahead of time but no decant and showed very nicely. Delicious. — 21 days ago

Outstanding example of Cali Pinot. Even more so since this is 2012 vintage. Overripe cherries and coffee notes explode on the nose. The palate displays crunchy black fruits along with syrop de cassis. Superb grainy tannins combine with bright acidity. A reference point in Sonoma/Cali.

Year isn’t over! Got 2 more days. Detecting low expectations for the next two days? 🤪

@WC Fields, well, I had lined up wines wines that we had quaffed previously, and because of that, the die was cast. Besides, I rarely tasted a wine once and come to such conclusions. I think a good product must also display consistency. 🥳

Second time tasting this bottle. This is an entry level 1er Cru Red Burgundy by one of my favorite producers there. Color screams Pinot, and the nose takes you there: red cherry, forest, clean wet earthy scents. The palate is vibrant with ripe red fruit deep minerality, high acidity, medium alcohol, soft tannins, and plush witty finish with a whiplash cherry note on the very end. A great wine that tastes great young, and under a Benjamin too. Roars real value. Chill for best tasting experience, the coldness tames the fruit. Loving this! — 10 months ago
