The Chapuis Aloxe Corton 1er Cru 2020 is a magnificent representation of the renowned terroir of Burgundy, France. This premier cru, produced by the esteemed Domaine Chapuis, exhibits a deep ruby color with a hint of violet. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plum are complemented by delicate floral notes and a touch of earthiness. The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, with bold flavors of dark fruits, subtle hints of spice, and a touch of velvety tannins. This elegant wine has a long, lingering finish, showcasing the finesse and complexity of a truly exceptional Burgundy. The 2020 vintage has great potential for aging, but is already showing remarkable balance and harmony. This Chapuis Aloxe Corton 1er Cru is a must-try for any lover of fine French wine.
Winemakers Notes
Domaine Chapuis
relies on 170 years of family tradition and is located at the foot of the Corton hill in Burgundy. Claire and her brother Pierre represent the 6
th
generation. Since 2018, they manage the estate alongside their parents, Maurice and Anne-Marie. The estate has been passed on from generation to generation since 1850. Everything started when Pierre Pavelot bought the first vineyard plot of one hectare plus 0.60 hectares of Charlemagne with his brother.
The vineyard spreads over 11 hectares in Côte de Beaune around the Corton hill, with 8 Village, Grands Crus and Premiers Crus appellations, both red and white.

Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru
is a blend of 3 Premier Cru plots: Les Vercots, Les Guérets, situated South of the village, which give its structure and its power, and Les Valozières, which has an Eastern aspect and is located just below the Grand Cru Corton Les Bressandes.
This location contributes to adding all the subtlety necessary to produce a well-balanced, concentrated, deep wine.
