"An Aligoté with body!"
"Despite a hint of reduction, it offers lovely sapidity in a dense, lively yet fleshy body." (La Revue du Vin de France - June 2021). This Bourgogne Aligoté is atypical for its appellation. The vines on the outskirts of the village of Meursault range in age from 35 to over 80 years. Aged on lees for several months, the fruit is very present and a pleasant floral bouquet emerges. On the palate, is round and generous, full-bodied and slightly acidic.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Born of winegrower and cooper parents, Sylvain Dussort and his wife set up in 1982, and now farm 6.5 hectares in regional and village appellations in Meursault and Chorey-lès-Beaune. Their viticultural methods are opposed to systematic pest control, and vinification uses only indigenous yeasts, in the Burgundian tradition, with barrel ageing. Sylvain is also an advocate of the new Bourgogne Côte d'Or appellation, which he proudly claims as of the 2017 vintage.
