Parker about Aloxe Corton Les Chaillots 1er Cru 2020

Suckling over Aloxe Corton Les Chaillots 1er Cru 2020
A smoky and earthy wine with an extremely firm structure. Wonderful forest berry fruit. Very crunchy palate with a lot of energy and crisp acidity, the finish radically mineral. Needs some time, but this is a very impressive wine for the appellation and it has decades of aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
