The Jean-Claude Boisset 2020 Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru Les Valozières is a structured and elegant expression of Pinot Noir from one of the most prestigious villages in the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from a prime Premier Cru site bordering Grand Cru vineyards, this wine reflects both the power and finesse that define top-tier Aloxe-Corton.

Located on the eastern-facing slopes beneath the Corton Grand Crus, the Les Valozières climat benefits from deep clay-rich soils, delivering wines of concentration, structure, and aging potential. The 2020 vintage, marked by optimal ripeness and low yields, produced Pinot Noir with intense color, aromatic depth, and firm yet refined tannins.

In the glass, the wine reveals a bright ruby hue with expressive aromas of red cherries, wild berries, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is both round and precise, balancing fruit purity with underlying structure. Notes of raspberry, red currant, and gentle spice are supported by fresh acidity and finely integrated oak, leading to a long, poised finish.

Crafted using a meticulous approach—partial whole-cluster fermentation, indigenous yeasts, and minimal intervention—this wine captures the authentic character of its terroir with clarity and elegance.

With limited production of just over 1,000 bottles, this is a rare Premier Cru Burgundy offering exceptional value relative to its Grand Cru neighbors.

Tasting Notes

Color: Bright ruby red
Aromas: Red cherry, raspberry, spice, subtle floral tones
Palate: Medium-bodied, structured yet refined, vibrant acidity
Finish: Long, elegant, and balanced with fine tannins

Terroir & Vineyard

  • Appellation: Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru (Côte de Beaune)
  • Climat: Les Valozières (bordering Grand Cru Corton sites)
  • Soil: Deep clay and limestone
  • Exposure: East-facing
  • Vine Age: ~55 years
  • Yield: 36 hL/ha

This site is known for producing wines with more structure and depth than many neighboring Premier Crus.

Winemaking

  • Hand-harvested with double sorting
  • ~50% whole cluster fermentation
  • Indigenous yeasts, no additives
  • Cold maceration followed by extended fermentation (~21 days)
  • Aged 14 months on lees
  • ~40% new French oak (light toast for subtle integration)

This approach emphasizes purity, texture, and site expression.

Vintage Notes – 2020

The 2020 Burgundy vintage delivered:

  • Low yields with high concentration
  • Excellent phenolic ripeness
  • Vibrant acidity despite warm conditions

Resulting in wines with depth, structure, and strong aging potential.

Food Pairing

  • Roast duck or chicken
  • Grilled lamb
  • Mushroom-based dishes
  • Soft to medium-aged cheeses

Cellaring & Drinking Window

  • Drink Window: 2025–2035
  • Aging Potential: 7–12+ years

Why This Wine Stands Out

  • Premier Cru vineyard adjacent to Grand Cru Corton
  • Traditional, low-intervention winemaking
  • Limited production (~1,000 bottles)
  • Excellent balance of power and elegance
  • A strong value within the Aloxe-Corton hierarchy
