Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Red 2021 | Wine from Domaine Chapuis Frères

Red wine Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru 2021 Domaine Chapuis Frères

Brothers Romain and Jean-Guillaume Chapuis, who come from a family line rooted in Burgundy viticulture, launched the "Chapuis Frères" estate in 2009 in Pommard. With 4 hectares of vines and purchases of often organic grapes, their range includes Savigny les Beaune, Chorey les Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses. Following the success, they moved to Ladoix, adopting a low-intervention approach, favouring indigenous yeasts and limiting the use of sulphur and oak barrels. The wines, harvested by hand, are distinguished by their aromatic freshness and their immediate drinkability, reflecting the Burgundian terroir.

This Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru 2021 from Domaine Chapuis Frères has a rather dark garnet colour. Its aromas suggest the garden in spring, red (raspberry, strawberry, cherry) and black (blackcurrant, blackberry) berries. Its terroir with fairly deep soils is well suited to a full-bodied and generous Pinot Noir. Robust without losing its distinction, racy and fruity, it will fully open up after 3 to 5 years of ageing, on a firm and structured body, rich in chewiness and amiable tannins.
