Domaine Alussia Aloxe-Corton  ‘Les Caillettes’

Domaine Alussia Aloxe‑Corton ‘Les Caillettes’ 2023 opens with deep, vibrant aromas of black cherry, redcurrant, and wild raspberry, layered with violet, subtle spice, and a cool, earthy‑mineral note that reflects the gravel‑and‑limestone soils of this classic Aloxe lieu‑dit. The palate is supple yet firmly structured, offering ripe red‑ and dark‑berry fruit supported by lively acidity and fine, chalk‑edged tannins that give the wine both lift and the quiet power characteristic of the village. Hints of cranberry, dried herbs, and crushed stone add nuance without interrupting the wine’s sleek, confidently shaped core. The finish is long, savory, and mineral‑driven, showcasing a beautifully balanced Aloxe‑Corton crafted with precision, finesse, and a clear sense of place.
