The village of Aloxe lies amidst sloping vineyards less than five miles from Beaune, below a forested hilltop known as the Bois de Corton. And just below the treeline, the famous vineyards of Corton-Charlemagne produce some of Burgundy's most stunning and powerful wines.
At Domaine Senard, in the center of the village, you can taste top wines from the surrounding vineyards--grand cru Corton and Corton Charlemagne--in the course of a hearty lunch. I call it "tasting with your feet." About $50 for the best of the best, an unmatched opportunity to absorb what makes Burgundy unique: that each tiny parcel produces a singular wine, with attributes that cannot be duplicated anywhere else. Here and here alone, Corton Charlemagne.
