Not sure if this is the correct domaine because it says Pierre and Claire Chapuis, not Maurice and Anne-Marie. Love the deeply sappy cherry fruit and loamy, limestoney earthiness on the nose. On the palate, the ripe fruit is almost overwhelming. But there is substantial stony minerality behind it. The tannins are there, but they’re buried under the tsunami of fruit. Tightens up a little at the end of the finish. This wine is on the hedonistic end of the spectrum for sure. Acids a tad low and not a ton of complexity, but lots of bang for the Burgundian buck. — 8 days ago

This is the Aloxe-Corton Blanc. (@Delectable Wine has misidentified 3 of the last 4 wines I’ve posted, and doesn’t have the actual wine listed when I search. 😠). Entirely from the lieu-dit Les Caillettes. Notes to follow.

OK, I was cooking when I opened it, so let it sit until I was finished stirring the risotto. Good thing I let it sit, because it was giving nothing away initially. As it warms and airs, there are subtle and enticing scents of crushed limestone, straw, apple and almost ripe peach. Silky soft textured, the palate is subtle with light buttery notes, gravel and crushed stone. Some very subtle orchard fruit. Very distinctive. — 2 months ago

All of the delicious things in a glass, and I can taste it about half an hour later...must be at its peak in 2016...delightfully honeyed, slight vanilla-infused butter, tropical notes, apricot, Eccles cake. Salted caramel. Fresh, open. — 10 years ago

A lot of character here for a peripheral village white burg. Nose has melted butter, pear, bright limestone minerality. Nice intensity on entry and nice acids balance. Lacks a bit of depth, perhaps, but lots of value here. — a year ago

Tasting absolutely amazing - the 1999 consumed on Oct 15, 2016 in Burgundy over dinner with Claude Chapuis. — 10 years ago
