THE WINE
Located in the heart of the village of Aloxe-Corton, this plot encompasses a portion of the “Les Meix” locality, which once belonged to the Canons. These Canons were significant vineyard owners in Burgundy in the 13th century and were part of the colleges surrounding the Bishop of Autun: the cathedral chapters, from which it gets its name. The vineyard, exclusively planted with Pinot Noir, consists of vines of three different ages, averaging around 50 years. It covers 0.97 hectares and is situated at the base of the hill, facing south. The soil is reddish-brown with numerous siliceous nodules and fragments of flinty limestone.
The nose is serene, displaying a harmonious combination of fruitiness and mineral mystery. In these serious aromas, one can sense the influence of the monks. The texture is silky, with measured tannins, yet the wine has great depth, a fleshy and almost athletic character. It exudes a gourmet quality, and its long stony finish betrays an exceptional terroir. A true wine for aging, born to endure, both in the glass and in the cellar!
