2023 Francois Carillon Bourgogne Aligote

Winery's Nots The grapes come from two locations: Puligny-Montrachet and Corpeau, in the south, and are from the superior golden yellow Aligoté clone. Lime and orchard fruits on the nose, lively and lemony on the palate. 10% new oak. Soils: Clay and limestone. Coming from vines over 50 years old, the grapes are hand-harvested before being put directly into barrels to follow their fermentation and aging. Our Bourgogne Aligoté is worked like our Premiers Crus: it is aged in barrels for almost a year. " Very beautiful intense color, deep golden yellow. A nose that barely hints at a very well-controlled and discreet aging and a lovely grapefruit fruitiness with a light tropical note. Taut mouth from the start with a beautiful freshness, a mid-palate with good structure and a short and delicious finish. A beautiful wine that elevates Aligoté to a class above its reputation. " Paolo Basso Corney & Barrow's tasting notes: " This comes from two locations: Puligny-Montrachet and Corpeau, to the south/ It is made from the superior clone Aligoté jaune jaune . Bright green citrus and orchard fruit on the nose, crisp and zingy on the palate, making for a joyously bright, approachable wine. 10% new oak. "
