Rollin Aloxe Corton

Clearly cut from a more traditional cloth, this Aloxe shows restraint where others lean polish, opening with firm red fruit—tart cherry and red currant—set against dried leaves, gamey undertones, and a distinctly old-school earthiness. The palate is upright and uncompromising, built around assertive tannins, modest fruit weight, and a stern, linear structure that prioritizes longevity over ease. Acidity is present but secondary, reinforcing the wine’s rigid frame rather than softening it. Savory notes of dried herbs, leather, and stone linger on a dry, serious finish.
