Domaine Tollot-Beaut Aloxe Corton 2016

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.

Blackcurrant and cedar on the nose, when it hits the palate it’s licorice, prune, blackberry and vanilla, with lingering sweetness on the tip of your tongue. Sharp acidity, finish with tart tannins.
