2021 Domaine Daniel Largeot, Aloxe Corton

After a cold maceration, a traditional fermentation takes place with punching down and pumping over to extract the raw material. Aging takes place in 225-liter oak casks, some of which are new. Cassis, raspberry, a touch of menthol, and a hint of vanilla highlight this wine's excellent aromatics. The fruit glides across the solid and concentrated palate that shows additional notes of vanilla and spice.

This is a wonderful domaine for Burgundy fans looking for overachieving wines from unheralded appellations. They are an excellent old-school producer, without relying on the trappings of sexy new oak but rather displaying deep red fruit and a subtle hint of earthiness that only adds to the wine's appeal. In short, another domaine whose wines overdeliver for their price.
