The 2023 Follin-Arbelet Aloxe-Corton Blanc is an elegant and refined white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune, showcasing the purity, minerality and precision that define this rare appellation. Produced from limestone-rich vineyards surrounding Aloxe-Corton, the wine reflects Domaine Follin-Arbelet's meticulous approach to terroir-driven winemaking. The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of white peach, lemon zest and pear, complemented by notes of citrus blossom, flint, toasted hazelnut and subtle French oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully creamy, silky texture, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, crisp apple and grapefruit layered with delicate mineral notes, roasted almond and gentle oak spice. The finish is long, refined and mineral-driven, balancing richness with freshness while offering excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional white Burgundy for customers who appreciate elegant, terroir-driven Chardonnay with outstanding finesse, texture and complexity. Beautifully expressive in its youth, it will also reward careful cellaring over the next 8–10 years. Ideal with lobster, pan-seared scallops, turbot in beurre blanc, roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes or mature Comté cheese.
