جان كلود بوايسيه ألوكس-كورتون 1er ليه فالوزيير 2017، بورغوندي

Opened this for a special dinner and the depth of the dark fruit and earthy notes was just incredible—way more complex than I expected from a 2017. It paired perfectly with roasted duck, and the finish lingered beautifully.

The 2017 vintage from this premier cru site has that classic Burgundy balance—silky texture with enough structure to handle another few years in the cellar. I let it breathe for an hour before serving and the finish kept unfolding nicely.

Opened this for a special dinner and the structure was beautifully balanced — the tannins are silky but still have a nice grip. It paired perfectly with roast duck, and I'm already thinking about buying another bottle to cellar for a few years.
