Ravaut Pierre – Les Vercots 2018 – Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru

The nose is elegant, racy, precise and offers a certain intensity, a small carved side as well as a very finely tight grain and deepness. It reveals notes of juicy Boysen berry, bright plum, small notes of blueberry associated with touches of crushed cherry as well as fine hints of cornflower, cherry blossom, nutmeg, a discreet hint of racy minerality/terroir and an imperceptible varietal hint (in the background). The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, racy and offers a small richness (full of control/balance), a fine tension, an acidulous frame as well as a certain deepness, a beautiful racy minerality, harmony and dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright/fleshy cherry, juicy/fresh violet plum, small notes of flower (violet, lily, lilac) associated with touches of creamy blueberry, crunchy strawberry, a racy minerality as well as discreet hints of camphor, cocoa/mocha and a subtle hint of toasted. An imperceptible hint of vanilla pod and powdered on the finish/persistence. A beautiful, fruity, juicy, mineral and full of control wine.
