2014 Domaine Antonin Guyon, Aloxe Corton 1er Cru ‘Les Fournieres’

Description

ABOUT THE WINE. The second generation now manages this domaine, founded by Antonin in the 1960s. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, they own vines throughout the Cote d’Or, including parcels in some of the finest Premier and Grand cru vineyards. Harvest is by hand, with initial sorting in the vineyard; no more than 50% new oak is used, and the wines of the domaine have a classic freshness and purity to them.. TASTING NOTES. Delicate in colour, with wonderful minerality and fine tannins. Bright cherry fruit, very intense, with a touch of oak adding elegance. Exceptionally well-balanced.. FOOD PAIRING. Ideal very slightly chilled, with summer salads; or with pork dishes on colder evenings.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. A superb vintage for Burgundy, the 2014 Guyon is a delightful wine.
