The 2017 Aloxe-Corton Clos de Chapitre 1er Cru has a rustic nose, with plenty of undergrowth/damp mossy scents filtering through the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a prickle of black pepper, cohesive but just missing some weight towards the finish. Drinking perfectly now, I can't see how this will reward long-term cellaring. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2023)
