Tasting notes
Aromas of cherries, raspberries, petals and spices preface the 2020 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Chaillots, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's powerful and broad shouldered, with rich, powdery tannins and an expansive finish.

About the producer
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
