Tasting Notes
A beautifully expressive Aligoté showing bright aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with subtle floral hints of acacia blossom and a touch of wet stone minerality. On the palate, it offers vibrant acidity, a sleek, precise texture, and a refreshing saline lift that carries through to a crisp, lingering finish
Pairings
Pairs beautifully with a variety of light, fresh dishes. Its crisp acidity and mineral character make it a natural match for fresh oysters, seafood platters, and delicate sashimi or ceviche. Grilled white fish with a touch of lemon butter highlights the wine’s citrus and stone fruit notes, while creamy goat cheeses like Crottin de Chavignol or Valençay are perfectly balanced by its lively freshness.
Decant
Not required, but a brief aeration of 15–20 minutes may enhance aromatic expression and texture.
Drinking Window
Now – 2027. Best enjoyed young for its freshness, but may gain additional depth with short-term cellaring.
