Suggestion from March 25 2026
Wine: 2012 Aloxe-Corton "Les Vercots"
Producer: Domaine Tollot-Beaut
Comment: This is also very pinot but in this case the earth and sauvage characters are more pronounced. The textured and very rich medium-bodied flavors possess an abundance of palate coating dry extract that imparts a sappy mouth feel to the focused, powerful and muscular finish that displays only moderate rusticity. This is a relatively big but impeccably well-balanced effort that should age well yet drink well after 5 or so years. This too is recommended.
Score: 92 Drink: 2020+
