Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Red "Les Moutottes" 2022 - Capitain Gagnerot 75cl

Capitain Gagnerot's Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Rouge "Les Moutottes" 2022 Bio is a 100% Pinot Noir wine from Middle Oxfordian clay-limestone soils with marl limestone. The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, and destemmed before undergoing 15 days of alcoholic fermentation in open vats, with two punch-downs per day at the beginning of fermentation. Aging lasts 13 months in oak barrels, 10% of which are new.

This wine reveals a beautiful, dense, velvety, and bright ruby ​​color. The nose is marked by powerful aromas of black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry. On the palate, it is fleshy, generous, and beautifully structured, offering great breadth after a few years of aging. It pairs perfectly with flavorful red meats, game (doe, venison, hare), and soft cheeses such as Epoisses or Livarot. Best served at an ideal temperature of 15°C.
