Aloxe-Corton
Situated in the lieu-dit Les Combes of Aloxe-Corton at the edge of Pernand and at the base of the Corton-Charlemagne. Planted in a brown, pebbly, well-drained clay soil with medium limestone content.
The wine that results is fine and light with a lovely complexity for a village wine. Always on the red fruits, it is easily accessible immediately following the bottling.
