DUBREUIL FONTAINE - Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots 2023

The Aloxe Corton Premier Cru appellation

Aloxe Corton Premier Cru belongs to the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy and ranks among the appellations renowned for its characterful red wines. Classified as a Premier Cru, the Les Vercots vineyard site offers a precise expression of this Burgundian terroir in the 2023 vintage.

Made from Pinot Noir, the emblematic grape variety of Burgundy’s great red wines, this wine reflects a style combining structure, freshness and finesse. The appellation is particularly appreciated for the balance between assertive substance and an elegant expression of the fruit. The Les Vercots designation identifies a specific vineyard origin within the appellation, while the Premier Cru classification highlights its level of recognition.

This red wine therefore offers a profile suited both to the table and to attentive tasting. Its Burgundian personality relies less on demonstrative power than on precision, depth and the ability to reveal evolving aromas over time.

Tasting advice

Serve this wine between 15 and 17°C, after moderate aeration if necessary. Opening it slightly before the meal will encourage the expression of the Pinot Noir without increasing the temperature or the impression of alcohol. A sufficiently ample Burgundy glass will showcase its balance and texture.

At the table, this Aloxe Corton Premier Cru will pair beautifully with roast poultry, slow-cooked veal, beef fillet or grilled pork chop. It will also complement mushroom dishes, traditional Burgundian cuisine and pressed cheeses such as aged Comté or Beaufort.

For ageing, allow an indicative period of 6 to 10 years, depending on storage conditions and the wine’s evolution in bottle. Store it horizontally, at a stable temperature and away from light and vibration.
