Here we have a splendid illustration of the high potential of Aligoté: precise and firm, yet with a delightful richness and depth. It's a wine that's incredibly well-detailed and displays exceptional intelligence. It originates from a vineyard situated on the "Colline de Vergy" in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, right at the base of the ruins of the Abbaye de Saint-Vivant. The vineyard's soils are a combination of clay and limestone, enriched with marl. Notably, the neighboring vineyard is where the renowned DRC's lesser-known Bourgogne blanc is produced. It's an extraordinary terroir located in one of the most stunningly beautiful areas of Burgundy.
About The Varietal
For over two centuries, Aligoté has been integrated into the wine culture of Burgundy, where it was traditionally planted alongside Chardonnay. Over time, it has come to occupy less prestigious locations, including plateaus and valleys, as opposed to the more valuable land reserved for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
