Decanter, 

"This expressive Aligoté has pronounced aromas of nectarine and gooseberry with accents of tarragon, fresh-cut grass and honeycomb. The texture is lively and chiselled, with fresh acidity but enough extract to give the wine real weight. The fruit has two sources: 80% is from 80-year-old vines he owns in the lieu-dit Au Bout du Monde in the Hautes-Côtes, and the balance is from Chassagne. He uses the same system as the Bourgogne Chardonnay: 350-litre casks, 10% new, no lees stirring; the wine will be bottled in February 2024." 

Vinous, 

"The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté, 55% from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and the rest from Chassagne picked simultaneously, was taken directly from stainless steel tanks. It has a clean and fresh Granny Smith and pear-scented nose. The palate is quite edgy on the entry with a pleasant twist of sour lemon, bright and saline on the finish. Enjoy this over the next five or six years - there's plenty of energy here." 

Alcohol: 12%
