40% whole bunch. Rich vibrant purple but just as you think this might be going to be too powerful a lovely refreshing currant of pure red fruit comes up through the darker fruit. Picked in good time and helped by the whole bunches. Good length. No rustic tannins really quite fine. Light but not meagre says Thibault.
The 2020 Aloxe-Corton La Toppe Au Vert 1er Cru has a delightful bouquet with red cherries crushed strawberry and the limestone terroir lending fine delineation and freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit gentle grip quite structured towards the peppery finish (thanks to the 40% whole bunch) but eases off on the aftertaste. (Drink between 2024 - 2038) - Neal Martin
