Chanterêves - Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru 'Les Paulands' | French Red Wine

In 2010, this micro-trading company, founded by Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott, opened its doors. Tomoko Kuriyama, originally from Japan, had worked for a long time in Germany at some of the biggest names in the Rheignau. Guillaume Bott was cellar master at Domaine Simon Bize in Savigny-lès-Beaune and had also spent some time working at Domaine Sauzet. In 2010, their micro-trading company opened in Savigny-lès-Beaune, with the focus on finding fruity, wines, natural, full of flavour and bold. These quaffable wines are exactly what this company and estate produces. They have since gained some land in Ladoix which has a superb range of old Aligotés vines, nearly 90 years old. This Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru Les Paulands is a cold wine, with hints of earth and mint, joyous cherry and a flavourful finish. This is a superb Burgundy wine with a fine, lively undercurrent.
