Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Clos des Maréchaudes Domaine F & L Saier 1988

The wine

On the bottom of the slopes, on chalky ground, the vineyards produce wine that requires a long cellaring before it reaches maturity. Dark red in colour, with a lovely spicy bouquet, it develops a rich aroma. Red fruits, black berries, flowers, honey, toasted almonds develop into unique notes of leather, spices and undergrowth. The premiers crus are firm, well-structured and full-bodied with luxurious aromas of red and dark fruits.
