Aloxe-Corton 1er cru La Toppe au Vert 2020
The 2020 Aloxe-Corton La Toppe Au Vert 1er Cru has a delightful bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and the limestone terroir lending fine delineation and freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, gentle grip, quite structured towards the peppery finish (thanks to the 40% whole bunch) but eases off on the aftertaste.
