Paul Gayot, Aloxe Corton 2023

Paul Gayot Aloxe-Corton 2023 is a light, well-structured red Burgundy that offers an accessible interpretation of one of the Côte de Beaune’s best-known appellations. Approachable and versatile, it is made for relaxed enjoyment while still expressing the character of Aloxe-Corton’s historic Pinot Noir terroir.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a bright ruby colour, with an inviting bouquet of red berries, cherries and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it is light-bodied yet neatly structured, combining fresh fruit with gentle tannins and a balanced finish. Its approachable style makes it particularly enjoyable in its youth, when the fruit and freshness are most expressive. With careful cellaring, it should develop added savoury and earthy complexity over the next few years.

Production
The grapes are destemmed and undergo a period of cold maceration before fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, with daily pumping-over and gentle punch-downs to encourage balanced extraction. The wine then completes malolactic fermentation and matures for 9 to 12 months in oak barrels, helping to round out its texture while preserving its fresh, accessible character.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C. Its light structure and fresh red-fruit profile make it a natural match for roast chicken, pork, grilled sausages, mushroom dishes, pâté and soft or semi-mature cheeses. Decanting is not essential, although a brief 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help open the wine when served soon after release.
