2024 Pierre-Olivier Garcia, Aloxe-Corton Rouge, Les Valozieres

Domaine Pierre-Olivier Garcia is a rising estate based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, founded in 2016 and known for its meticulous, low-intervention approach to winemaking. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grown in the Les Valozières vineyard, a respected Premier Cru site located at the northern end of the Aloxe-Corton appellation. In the glass, it displays distinct notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle earthy spice, supported by a firm, well-structured frame. The 2024 vintage required diligent work in the vineyard due to challenging growing conditions, resulting in a wine that balances freshness with a classic, focused personality. This bottle is a compelling choice for those seeking a precise, site-driven red that offers both immediate interest and the structure to reward a few years in the cellar.
