Domaine Tollot-Beaut Aloxe-Corton Les Vercots Premier Cru 2016
Region: Aloxe-Corton, Cote de Beaune, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France
Variety: Red Wine
Rating: 92.0

Tollot-Beaut’s Les Vercots 1er Cru is rustic and robust with aromas and flavors of red cherries, spice, and earth with substantial weight and ripe tannins. It is aged for 18 months in 50% new Burgundian pièce. Red Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food-friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
