Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Nestled in the heart of Aloxe-Corton, a Premier Cru appellation within the Côte d'Or, Clos des Marechaudes boasts a unique terroir: brown limestone soils overlaid with scree, with a high clay content. This special composition, along with meticulous viticulture practices, gives rise to exceptional Pinot Noir grapes, the soul of this elegant wine.

The 2014 and 2015 vintages were both highly successful in Burgundy, offering ripe fruit flavors and well-balanced acidity. The 2014, in particular, is lauded for its concentration and power, while the 2015 showcases finesse and elegance.

Here's what you can expect from this exquisite Pinot Noir:

Nose: A captivating bouquet brimming with aromas of ripe red and black fruits like blackberry, strawberry, and cherry. Subtle hints of spice, tea, and cocoa add complexity and intrigue.

Palate: Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, the wine unfolds on the palate with velvety tannins and vibrant fruit flavors. The terroir's minerality shines through, adding a refreshing touch. The 2014 might present a touch more power and richness, while the 2015 leans towards elegance and finesse.

Finish: Long and lingering, leaving you wanting more of this Burgundian gem.

The Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Clos des Marechaudes 2014/15 Albert Bichot is a perfect choice for special occasions, food pairings, or simply indulging in a truly exceptional wine. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats, poultry, and even rich cheeses.

Here are some additional details that might be helpful: The wine is typically aged for 18-24 months in French oak barrels, adding subtle notes of toast and vanilla to the overall flavor profile.
