Estate & Terroir
Aloxe-Corton Les Chaillots hails from the Les Chaillots climat in the prestigious Aloxe-Corton appellation. Maison Louis Latour harnesses the clay-limestone soils and favorable south-facing slopes to cultivate high-quality Pinot Noir grapes that reflect true Burgundian character.
Tasting Profile
Aroma
An enticing bouquet of red and black fruits—cherries, raspberries, and blackcurrants—melds with floral violet notes, delicate spice, and a subtle hint of toasty oak.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied, the wine boasts refined tannins, balanced acidity, and layered flavors of dark berries, earthy undertones, and a whisper of clove. The finish is long, silky, and lingering.
Winemaking & Aging
Grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by 14–16 months of aging in French oak barrels (30–40% new) to enhance complexity and structure.
Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions
Serve at 16–18°C in a Burgundy glass to unlock its full aromatic spectrum. Pairs exquisitely with:
- Roasted lamb or beef
- Duck breast with berry sauce
- Aged Comté or Époisses cheese
Cellaring Potential
While already approachable, this Aloxe-Corton can age gracefully for 8–12 years, evolving into deeper tertiary flavors of leather, tobacco, and forest floor.
