There is a lovely, savoury complexity to the fruit here, with forward plum and blackberry fruit accented with saline mineral notes on the initial attack. The texture is supple and grippy, with a fresh acidity that leads to a lingering finish. The grapes come from a hectare surrounding the church in Aloxe in two parcels. The young vines had an 80% loss from the frost, but the old vines at the base of the slope produced a normal harvest.
