Tasting notes

Named in honor of the estate's founder Jules Senard, the Domaine Comte Senard Aloxe-Corton 'Jules' Red 2023 is a village-level Burgundy cuvée with a deep ruby color, an expressive nose of fresh red fruits, and a supple attack on a refined, persistent palate.

Deep, brilliant ruby red. The bouquet is open, featuring vibrant red berries, ripe red cherries, and subtle hints of sweet licorice, cedar, and delicate cocoa.

Supple and inviting on entry, the palate is refined and expressive, balancing controlled power with fine, integrated tannins. The finish is clean and persistent, reflecting the classic clay and marly limestone hillside terroir of Aloxe-Corton.

More About The Winery

Founded in 1857 by Jules Senard, Domaine Comte Senard is a historic Burgundy estate best known for its Corton-Clos des Meix Monopole, which became a Grand Cru vineyard in 1937 with the creation of the AOC. Over five generations, the domaine has expanded to encompass 22 acres of prestigious terroirs, including Corton-Clos du Roi, Corton-Bressandes, and Corton-Paulandes — jewels of the northern Côte de Beaune.

The wines of Corton are renowned for their depth, power, and longevity, and Domaine Comte Senard captures this essence with remarkable precision. Today, the estate is led by Lorraine Senard, who continues her family's tradition while bringing a fresh, modern vision. She practices sustainable, organic viticulture, hand-harvesting with meticulous sorting to preserve the integrity of the fruit.

In the cellar, winemaking respects tradition with a cold soak, gentle pressing, and temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by ageing in the domaine's 14th-century cellars built by Benedictine monks. The result is a range of wines that are seductive, structured, and built to age with grace, showcasing the full power and finesse of Corton's terroir.
