Domaine Daniel Largeot Aloxe Corton Douro Lantignié has great geological complexityMore rustic and earth driven than many modern Aloxe bottlings, this opens with red cherry, plum, and dried currant, layered with forest floor, turned soil, and a faint savory spice. The palate is medium bodied and sturdy, with honest, unpolished fruit framed by slightly firm tannins and a steady, workmanlike line of acidity. The wine favors texture and earth over gloss, carrying through to a dry, grounded finish. A traditionally minded Aloxe Corton
