Description
The Aligoté "Le Cran" 2023 impressively demonstrates how precise and terroir-driven Aligoté can be in Burgundy. The chalky soils give the wine a distinctive salty minerality and a cool, straightforward structure. Jérôme Galeyrand works deliberately minimally and very close to nature, which makes the wine appear particularly transparent and lively.
The 2023 vintage shows itself to be open and energetic, yet incredibly focused and refined. Instead of simple freshness or superficial fruit, "Le Cran" clearly focuses on tension, precision, and an almost stony clarity. It is precisely this combination of freshness, minerality, and fine structure that gives the wine its special character.
The aging process remains deliberately subtle and puristic, so that origin and grape variety are uncompromisingly in the spotlight. As a result, this Bourgogne Aligoté displays a very precise Burgundian style – mineral, lively, and with a long, salty-fresh finish.
