Domaine Antonin Guyon Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Fournières 2016
Domaine Antonin Guyon Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Fournières 2016 is a Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, that combines structure, ripe fruit and the more serious character of the Premier Cru from the northern area of Corton. The 2016 vintage was greatly affected by spring frosts, which provided very low yields. However, many producers produced wines with excellent concentration, freshness and balance, and this vintage is generally considered to have great aging potential.
