Drink or Keep
Aligoté is a very old plant and Burgundy's second most important white grape variety. This rather vigorous white grape variety has come back into fashion in recent years, producing a white wine that is gourmand, young, trendy and a little offbeat. Fragrant with floral and citrus notes, it is dressed in pale gold and stimulates the taste buds with its beautiful energy. And it's not just the 60-year-old vines that add elegance and depth.

The soils are ploughed, and the grapes are harvested by hand, with a sorting table at harvest reception. The whites are aged for ten months, with 10% new barrels. The reds benefit from a three-week vatting period twelve months (10% new barrels for village appellations, 20% for premier crus). In certain years, the quality of the grapes allows us to keep around 20% of the whole harvest, balance is always important; we want to promote aromatic complexity while preserving substance, the tannins must hold the wine together". the wine".
