This 2017 Simon Bize Aloxe Corton Le Suchot is a Burgundy Pinot Noir. We recommend serving it at 14-16°C. It is still relatively young and can be enjoyed now with decanting or cellared for a few more years to develop further complexity. A short decant of 30-60 minutes is recommended to allow it to open up.

This Aloxe-Corton is an elegant Burgundy Pinot Noir, typically showcasing notes of red berries, cherry, forest floor, and subtle spice, with good acidity and fine tannins. It pairs beautifully with lighter red meats, poultry, and mushroom-based dishes. For Asian cuisine, consider Peking duck, char siu, mushroom hot pot, or delicate stir-fried dishes.

The bottle has a very damaged label (score 0) and a mid shoulder fill level (score 0). The capsule is in perfect condition (score 10). The very low fill level for a 2017 vintage is a significant concern and may indicate potential issues with the wine's quality, though the capsule is intact. This condition offers a very good value for money, but with inherent risk. For home storage, keep it in a cool, dark place with consistent temperature (12-15°C) and moderate humidity (60-75%), away from vibrations and direct light. Store the bottle horizontally.

Simon Bize is a respected Burgundy producer. However, the very damaged label and mid shoulder fill level (score 0 for both) will significantly impact its investment value and market price. While the wine itself can be excellent, its condition makes it more of a value-driven drinking proposition rather than an investment piece. It offers a very good price-to-value choice for personal consumption, acknowledging the condition.
