Domaine Michel Mallard, Aloxe Corton Toppe Vert Vintage:2021 (1994 was the first vintage Vintage:1978 (1994 was the first vintage for this wine and it comes from a mix of 20 and 50 year old vines) which are intended to show aspects of the terroir rather than to be special luxury wines There is fine richness and concentration to the powerful and muscular big bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that contrasts somewhat with the long but somewhat lean finish Moderately generous wood sets off the cooler and reserved nose that blends notes of both red and dark currant aromas that are liberally cut with earth and forest floor elements
