2023 Aligote
Tasting notes
Our 2023 Aligoté opens with inviting aromas of green brioche, stone fruit, and a touch of saline breeze, with subtle hints of banana chip. On the palate, the wine is rich and textured, featuring vibrant notes of ripe stone fruit, white peach, apricot, and pineapple, balanced by a refreshing melon rind character. A delicate touch of saltiness and floral undertones adds complexity, creating a harmonious blend of fruit and savory elements that is both lively and satisfying.
Grapes were whole cluster pressed, fermented and aged sur lie for 8 months in neutral French Oak (70%) and one new Austrian Oak puncheon (30%).
