Domaine Daniel Largeot Aloxe Corton Douro This sweetheart of a wine

This sweetheart of a wine used to fly so under the wine cognoscenti radar that it felt like I was a squirrel hiding treasures in cellars all around town

Behind every amazing inventor is an amazing partner

Yet Malbec is an immigrant to Argentina

Lantignié has great geological complexity in the subsoils

Domaine Daniel Largeot Aloxe Corton Douro This sweetheart of a wineMore rustic and earth driven than many modern Aloxe bottlings, this opens with red cherry, plum, and dried currant, layered with forest floor, turned soil, and a faint savory spice. The palate is medium bodied and sturdy, with honest, unpolished fruit framed by slightly firm tannins and a steady, workmanlike line of acidity. The wine favors texture and earth over gloss, carrying through to a dry, grounded finish. A traditionally minded Aloxe Corton
