Great wine from domaine Arnoux Père et Fils

TASTING NOTES

This is a superb Aloxe Corton with a ruby colour and a delicate, fruity nose (wild berries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries) which will evolve after a few years in the cellar towards flavours of blackcurrant and blackberry, as well as peppery and nutmeg notes.    On the palate, it is woody, elegant (and spicy after a few years of cellaring). On the tannic level, a warm character worthy of a Burgundian premier cru.
