The Aloxe-Corton 2022 is a testament to their dedication to crafting wines of exceptional quality and distinct terroir expression.
Maison Régnard, founded in 1860, stands as one of Burgundy's most venerable wine producers. With vineyards spread across prestigious appellations, including Côte d'Or, Chablis, Pouilly-Fuissé, and Maconnais, the domaine upholds a tradition of excellence and respect for the land. Each parcel is carefully managed to ensure the health and quality of the grapes, employing environmentally friendly viticulture practices. In the cellar, Maison Régnard focuses on preserving the unique characteristics of each varietal and terroir through non-invasive vinification techniques.
The Aloxe-Corton 2022 hails from vineyards situated on the famed calcareous clay soils of Aloxe-Corton, a terroir known for producing powerful and structured wines. Following a careful manual harvest, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing and fermentation process in temperature-controlled vats. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, which imparts subtle complexity without overpowering the fruit, allowing the true essence of the terroir to shine through.
In the glass, the Aloxe-Corton 2022 displays a deep ruby color with garnet highlights. The bouquet is rich and layered, featuring aromas of red and black berries, such as cherry and blackberry, intertwined with notes of violets, earthy undertones, and a hint of spice from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine offers a robust structure, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity that provides freshness and vibrancy. The flavors mirror the nose, with an added depth of dark chocolate and subtle smokiness. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lasting impression of fruit and mineral nuances.
Serving Suggestion
This wine is ideal for those who appreciate the artistry of traditional winemaking and the distinct character of Burgundy reds. Whether enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit and structure or aged to further develop its complexity, the Aloxe-Corton 2022 promises a memorable and refined tasting experience.
Drink for 2024 through to 2040, where the wine will have vibrant fruit flavors, a robust structure, and fresh acidity between now and 2027. As the wine ages, from 2028 to 2040, it will develop more complex secondary and tertiary aromas, including earthier tones, and subtle spice, while the tannins will soften, providing a smoother and more integrated palate experience.
Serve at a temperature between 60°F and 65°F (15°C to 18°C). This range ensures that the wine's flavors and aromas are optimally expressed.
Decant for at least 60 minutes before serving. This allows the wine to breathe, helping to open up its bouquet and soften its tannins, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast lamb, duck breast, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.
