The 2021 Follin-Arbelet Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru Les Vercots is a structured 100% Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The nose is fragrant with red cherry, raspberry and floral notes, followed by subtle spice, forest floor and earthy complexity. The clay-rich soils of Les Vercots give this Premier Cru notable concentration and firmness.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and focused, with lively acidity, firm fine-grained tannins and fresh red fruit. Savoury and mineral notes emerge through the persistent finish, giving the wine the structure needed for further bottle development.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy structured Premier Cru Burgundy with freshness and ageing potential. Enjoy with decanting or cellar through the 2030s for further development. Ideal with roast duck, beef, lamb, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
