Description
The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté from Vincent & François Jouard showcases the elegant and precise side of this often-underestimated grape variety. The chalky soils of the Côte de Beaune lend the wine a fine, saline minerality and a fresh, straightforward structure. The winery deliberately employs classic, terroir-driven methods, resulting in an Aligoté that is very clear and transparent.
The 2023 vintage is vibrant and energetic, yet incredibly harmoniously structured. The wine combines delicate freshness with subtle spice and a precise, chalky tension. Instead of simple fruitiness or pure lightness, this Bourgogne Aligoté clearly focuses on balance, minerality, and Burgundian finesse. It is precisely this combination of freshness and depth that makes the wine particularly characterful and appealing.
The winemaking process remains deliberately understated and puristic, ensuring that the origin and grape variety remain uncompromisingly in focus. As a result, the Aligoté exhibits a very classic Burgundian style – mineral, elegant, and with a long, saline-fresh finish.
