Domaine Poisot
After all the various divisions and sales that have occurred since the succession to the estate of Marie Poisot and the death of her son Pierre Poisot (1900 - 1937) wine-grower in Aloxe-Corton and Rémi's grandfather the area cultivated today covers approximately 2 ha with the specificity rare for a small family estate of having three Grands Crus and a Premier Cru. In keeping with the family history the cellar and the wine cellar where the grapes are vinified are located in Aloxe-Corton; this small village of great renown entirely dedicated to the vine had the name of the Grand Cru Corton appended to that of Aloxe by an Imperial Decree dated March 22 1862.
Description
"There is a fine sense of freshness to the cool and overtly spicy aromas of various floral, plum and sandalwood hints. I very much like the purity of the energetic, sleek and attractively detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess a highly refined mouth feel thanks to the fine grain of the supporting tannins, all wrapped in a balanced, persistent and beautifully complex finish."

Food Pairing
Strong meats and game will show it off to best effect: game birds or animals. Wild poultry such as lacquered duck, as well as wonderful pieces of roast veal will be delicately surrounded by those tight, yet so elegant tannins of this truly great Pinot Noir.
