Albert Bichot 2021 Aloxe-Corton Rouge

Just like its neighbour, the illustrious Corton Grand Cru Monopole Clos des Marchaudes, this wine is also a monopole belonging to the Domaine du Pavillon estate. The soil here is brown limestone overlying scree, with a high proportion of clay. En Mareschaut is derived from the Old French term maresche (marsh). The lower parts of Aloxe-Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny were marshy due to their proximity to the Lauve spring. Major drainage work was undertaken to dry up the land and make it suitable for planting vines.

Alcohol percentage: 13.9

Tasting Notes

The nose of our Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru Clos des Marchaudes features fruity aromas of blackberry, strawberry and notes of mild spices, tea and cocoa. Boasting extremely supple structure, this balanced wine has lovely, pleasing, velvety tannins. The finish is long and aromatic, reminiscent of the fruity aromas perceived on the nose.
