Drink or Keep
With its deep ruby color, it expresses fine, delicate aromas of red berries (raspberry, strawberry, cherry) in its youth, then black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) with pepper, nutmeg and other spices with age. Intense and elegantly woody on the palate, its distinguished tannins perfectly express the warm character expected of this premier cru.

I had the opportunity to smoke his Aloxes: excellent. I toasted a 1971 Aloxe with Rémy and some friends in his mother's cellar!
