Bourgogne Aligoté 2022
We are lucky enough to have grapes from Aligoté Doré. The Aligoté grape variety, which is enjoying a recent renaissance, has a genetic mutation that is riper, more 'golden' and richer. The plot is grown at the top of the slopes, on a predominantly chalky white marl soil. We have therefore chosen to make the most of this grape variety through noble ageing and to consider it a 'great Burgundy wine'. To be discovered during a blind tasting - a guaranteed trap!
