Easy To Use Domaine Edmond Cornu Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Les Valozieres 2016 750ml Tool [s1E9Tcp2]

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2016

Allen Meadows of Burghound writes 90+ Points | There is no doubt that the Valozières is from Aloxe-Corton; it is a great wine that defines the terroir of this appellation. The vineyard has a deep clay base infused with gravel, with the vines situated mid-slope at a south-southeast exposure, just beneath Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru. The Cornu family own one-third hectare averaging 50 years. A firm, structured wine built to last, there is a sense of more earth than fruit; you can feel the grit in the tannins married to notes of truffle and game. Like the champion it is, it has proven that it will go the distance in your cellar.

The Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | This rich, smoky wine has layers of wood aging and tannins that give it a dry core. The black fruits and acidity surround this core promise some good aging. Drink from 2022.
