Varietal: Aligote 
Year: 2020  

Importer Notes: 

"François Bitouzet produces a beautifully textured Aligoté from a parcel that was planted above Meursault in 1975, and the age of the vines provides low yields of around 50 hl/ha, crucial for this workhorse grape. The wine is fermented and settled in tank then rests in used 228-liter barrels on the fine lees from his production of Meursault Premier Cru, adding complexity and density. This kind of quality from the Aligoté grape is rare and we encourage clients to jump all over it—In fact, we love it so much that we secured an exclusive to the US and bring in the entire production, just under 150 cases." - Rosenthal
