Domaine Maldant Pauvelot Aloxe-Corton Rouge 2017

This wine is quite dark in color, with the shade varying from deep ruby to crimson and garnet. While young, the wine’s aroma suggests a spring garden with small red fruits (raspberry, strawberry) and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry). The aroma intensifies with age and evolves into peony and jasmine, preserved and brandied fruits, pistachio, prune, leather, truffle, mushroom and cinnamon. The deep soil begets a vigorous, full-bodied Pinot Noir, robust yet refined. Tender and fruity, this wine reaches its peak after 3-5 years in the cellar, revealing a firm and well-built body, richly chewy and with pleasing tannins.The impressive power of the Aloxe-Corton reds demand forceful, aromatic dishes. Their generous and opulent personality softens firm-textured and fibrous meats. Their solid but distinguished tannins are a match for marbled meats and brown sauces. These great red wines go best with rib steaks, braised lamb, and poultry - roasted or glazed. Ethnic dishes such as couscous
