Aloxe-Corton is the home village of the Latour family who have been closely involved in the affairs of the commune for over three centuries. Of the total hectarage of this Premier Cru, the Domaine Louis Latour control over 13% of production centred on the famous Chateau and cuverie of Corton-Grancey. These vines are an important part of the Domaine Louis Latour. The name "Les Chaillots" refers to the stony, pebbly nature of the soil in this vineyard, as "caillou" means pebble in french. There is an alliance in the wines of Aloxe-Corton between the finesse of a Cote de Beaune and the mellow, powerful appeal of the Cote de Nuits.
Winemaker Notes:
This "Chaillots" 2015 is of a beautiful intense ruby red color and has a heady perfume of wild strawberry and toasted bread. The mouth is ample with notes of liquorice and chlorophyll. A wine with mellow tannins and beautiful length. Pairs beautifully with game birds, poultry, and mature cheeses.
Critical Acclaim:
92 points - James Suckling
"Aromas of blackberries, leaves and spices. Some meat. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. A little tight and shy. Better in 2021."
92 points - Wine Spectator
"This is lively and smooth, evoking cherry, currant and earth flavors, underlined by burly tannins. Closes down on the finish, with the fruit coming back in the aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2038."
92 points - Wine Enthusiast
"The wine is dense with fine concentration and a solid dry tannin character at the back. It is full of black fruits and balanced acidity. Its richness reflects the quality of the vintage and its aging potential. Drink from 2022."
