2019 Domaine Didier Meuneveaux Aloxe-Corton

The 2019 Domaine Didier Meuneveaux Aloxe‑Corton is crafted in the village of Aloxe‑Corton on the Côte de Beaune. This family‑run domaine practices traditional Burgundy viticulture, focusing on old vines, moderate yields and careful oak ageing to express terroir.

This wine is made from 100 % Pinot Noir grown on the slopes of Aloxe‑Corton. The soils here combine clay and limestone with good drainage and exposure, helping the vines achieve ripeness while retaining freshness.

On the nose you’ll find red‑berry fruit such as cherry and raspberry, along with a hint of dark berry, soft spice, and an under‑brush or forest‑floor nuance. On the palate it shows fine tannins, a medium body, balanced acidity and a polished finish. The structure is present but elegant, with the fruit and earth elements in harmony.

Suggested pairings include: roasted duck breast, venison or game in lighter sauce, beef bourguignon, sautéed mushrooms with herbs, and mature soft‑rind cheeses. Serve at about 15‑16 °C (59‑61 °F) and consider decanting if you want to open it young.
