Notes of cherries, berries, smoked meats and sweet soil tones introduce Rossignol's 2019 Aloxe-Corton Village, a medium-bodied, lively and charming wine with a sweet core of fruit and beautifully refined tannins. As usual, it's impressively suave and supple for the appellation.

A blend of two different vineyards making four barrels, the 2016 Aloxe-Corton Village has lovely ripe redcurrant and confit-like scents on the nose. The palate is very well balanced with effervescent red berry fruit tinged with cola and a pinch of spice toward the vivacious finish. Delicious.
