"With its regressive edge, Ali Boit Boit smells of spices. Voluminous, with a creamy bubble, the slight sensation of sweet fruit makes it seductive". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) This ancestral method, also known as Pétillant Naturel, is the result of early bottling of Aligoté. With no tirage or expedition liqueur, the bubbles give way to pure, thirst-quenching fruit. All the know-how of Agnès Paquet in a pleasure bubble to discover!

Winemaking
Méthode ancestrale (natural sparkling): bottled before fermentation is complete. No liqueur de tirage or expedition added. Alcoholic fermentation begins in vats. The wine is bottled when alcoholic fermentation is only partially complete. It will resume in the bottle, creating gas. The yeasts are unable to work above a certain pressure. Alcoholic fermentation therefore stops naturally. The wine has 8 to 9° alcohol, and around 20 g residual sugar.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Made from 100% aligoté grapes, a very fine, delicate bubble, a delicious balance between the freshness of aligoté and its natural sweetness.
About the domain :
Agnès Paquet vinified her first vintage at Meloisey in 2001 on a family plot in Auxey-Duresses. She has masterfully managed her estate, which now covers 12.5 hectares in Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Auxey-Duresses, Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin, where the vines are intelligently tended according to organic principles. The whites are straightforward and chiselled, while the reds, vinified partly from whole bunches, are precise and full-bodied. Of particular note is the production of a house effervescent using the ancestral method, made exclusively with aligoté grapes.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Agnès Paquet created her domaine in 2000 from a parcel acquired by her family in the 1950s. Based in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune region, she farms 9.5 ha of vines, most of which are in Melin, a hamlet of Auxey-Duresses. Organic conversion is underway.

Wine rated (guide 2021) 14/20 (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
With its regressive side, Ali Boit Boit smells of spices. Voluminous, with a creamy bubble, the slight sensation of sweet fruit makes it seductive.
About the domain :
It was to avoid the sale of her family's Auxey-Duresses parcel that Agnès Paquet, a business school graduate, chose to become a winemaker. She produced her first vintage in 2001. Her style is always frank and fresh, which we're delighted about.

I understand why people like it, but it's not my thing.

It's pleasant, fruity, easy-drinking and low in alcohol. Sometimes you wonder whether it's a wine or a sweet cider...

For the price officially €13, a rip-off ( plus capsule in meta). This was my first 1j1v order... I'm very disappointed
