The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté opens with a pale straw‐gold hue and bright aromatics of lime zest, green apple, white peach and a delicate hint of orange blossom layered over saline stone and chalky minerality. On the palate it is crisp and vibrant, with vivid acidity framing a core of citrus fruit and crisp orchard notes, while subtle herbal nuances and a mineral‐laden finish give it texture and precision. The mid‐palate reveals faint white flowers, crushed oyster shell and a whisper of dry herb that enhance complexity without detracting from freshness. The finish is persistent and clean—bright citrus notes fade into chalk and limestone minerality, leaving a refined, energetic impression that invites both immediate enjoyment and medium‐term ageing. This is a white of unexpected depth and clarity—approachable now, yet built with the structure to evolve over 5
Domaine Marquis d’Angerville, situated on the higher slopes of Volnay in the Côte de Beaune, has earned its reputation through meticulous viticulture, low‐yield vineyards, and a philosophy rooted in terroir expression rather than heavy intervention. Their approach emphasizes clarity, minerality, and elegance—fermentations are gentle, oak use minimal (often 20–25%), and the wines are crafted to reflect place rather than power. The estate’s holdings include prime plots like Clos des Ducs and Fremiets, and its overarching ethos is to produce Burgundies of finesse, poise and lasting appeal. In the case of their Bourgogne Aligoté, they bring the same attention to detail to one of Burgundy’s lesser-known white grapes, elevating it beyond simple regional wine to a reflection of precision and site.
