2021, Domaine Henri Magnien, ALOXE-CORTON, 1er Cru, 'La Coutière'

This is quite airy, indeed even perfumed, with its elegant and exceptionally pretty nose of essence of wild cherry, soft earth and a background hint of star anise. The polished, delicious and solidly concentrated middleweight flavours coat the palate with sappy dry extract that helps to buffer the lightly stony, austere and linear finish that displays excellent length. Lovely. 90-92 Allen Meadows, Burghound.
