Burgundy’s ‘second white variety,’ Aligoté is too often underappreciated! Handled well, it produces elegant whites with lovely, citrusy acidity, clean, racy palate, and a cool, mineral finish. Colin-Morey’s example adds an additional touch of sulfur-y minerality and doesn’t overdo it on the acidity. Food Pairing French onion soup, Japanese cuisine

The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté, 55% from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and the rest from Chassagne picked simultaneously, was taken directly from stainless steel tanks. It has a clean and fresh Granny Smith and pear-scented nose. The palate is quite edgy on the entry with a pleasant twist of sour lemon, bright and saline on the finish. Enjoy this over the next five or six years - there's plenty of energy here.
