Domaine Les Astrelles Aloxe-Corton Rouge ‘Les Chaillots'

The palate is structured, dark‑fruited, and quietly powerful, opening with black cherry, wild strawberry, and dark berry skin. The fruit feels dense yet lifted, carried by fresh, balanced acidity that keeps the wine energetic despite its depth. A thread of earth, licorice, and sous‑bois‑like spice brings savoury complexity through the mid‑palate, echoing the clay‑rich, colluvial soils of Les Chaillots. The tannins are silky but firm‑edged, giving the wine a confident, architectural shape without heaviness. The finish is long, mineral, and gently spiced, tapering with notes of black fruit, cherry skin, and a faint earthy warmth, leaving an impression of both elegance and underlying power.
