Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru La Toppe au Vert Domaine Michel Mallard 2017

Tasting Notes

Given its position below Corton Rognet, it's no surprise that this parcel, located in Ladoix but labelled as an Aloxe-Corton premier cru, often makes such impressive wines. Textured, layered and hauntingly scented, this has 50% stems and 60% new wood, with fine, zesty wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Drinking window: 2020-2025.
