Cask sample. Stone dust, limey citrus and herbs on the nose. Chewy texture, great freshness, showing the drive and incipient complexity of good Aligoté. GV (JH)
The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté was picked two weeks after the main harvest and racked just before the 2023 picking. It has quite a primal bouquet with grapefruit and Conference pear, gaining delineation in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a lovely sense of "rondeur," slightly lower in acidity than last year but with commendable purity on the finish. Lovely.
Citrusy green apple and spice wisps are complemented by delicious, vibrant and delineated middleweight flavors that display a touch of lactic character on the otherwise persistent and dry finale. I suspect that this will clean up properly and my projected range offers the benefit of the doubt.
