Bourgogne Aligoté

Bright gold in colour, with rich vanilla and exotic orchard-fruit aromas. The palate is floral and concentrated, with semi-tropical fruit, racy acidity, generous youthful fruit and balanced volume. Most vines are at least forty years old. The wine sees no wood ageing. Ripe lemon, white peach, wet stone, crushed herbs, salinity and hazelnut are also present.

Aligoté comes from parcels in Magny-lès-Villers and Villers-la-Faye, on shallow, gently sloping clay-limestone soils with good sun exposure. Grapes are harvested by hand and pressed directly. Fermentation takes place in enamelled or stainless-steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, followed by full malolactic conversion and several months on the lees. The wine is lightly filtered and bottled by gravity.

White fruit, pear and fresh vegetal notes meet delicate oak and mineral character. The palate is round and full, with freshness, mineral tension and a long, spicy, saline finish. Aligoté comes from 45-year-old vines on calcareous soils and is harvested by hand. Whole clusters are pressed slowly, fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel, and the wine remains in steel for maturation.

Pale straw in colour, this Aligoté offers spicy aromas with lime, vanilla and white fruit. Apple and lemon accompany pure fruit on a bone-dry palate, with focused minerality, a fleshy middle and bright acidity. Saline notes are also present. The structure is sharp and lively, with substance and balance, and the wine contains twelve and a half percent alcohol.

Citrus, lemon, acacia, white flowers, cold stone and hazelnut accompany a lively, vigorous character, good length and iodine notes. Old vines grow on a steep limestone slope between Les Monts de Fussey and Mainbey. After destemming and a six-hour press, native-yeast fermentation precedes twelve months in oak casks. Both the hillside site and oak ageing are part of this cuvée.

Lime, green apple and lemon lead with a chalky mineral edge and a quiet note of white almond. Fresh acidity runs cleanly through the medium-bodied palate, giving the fruit a taut, tangy shape while the texture remains composed. The finish is dry, precise and gently nutty rather than austere. Serve well chilled as an aperitif, or pair with oysters, grilled white fish, goat cheese or a simple herb omelette.
