Fourth-generation vigneron Bruno Colin, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, is known for his precise and expressive white Burgundies that capture the nuance of each terroir. His Bourgogne Aligoté exemplifies the domaine’s refined, mineral-driven style, delivering clarity and energy in a classic Burgundian white built for pure refreshment.
- WINEMAKER: Bruno Colin
- FARMING: Sustainable
- VARIETY: 100% Aligoté
- TERROIR: Sourced from vineyards near Chassagne-Montrachet, where limestone and clay soils combine with Burgundy’s cool continental climate to produce Aligoté of bright acidity and stony precision. The 2023 vintage offered balanced ripeness and freshness—ideal conditions for this naturally high-acid variety.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes were hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness. Partial maturation on fine lees adds subtle texture and depth.
- AGING: Aged briefly in stainless steel and neutral oak to maintain crispness and highlight the grape’s natural minerality.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale straw in color with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white flowers. The palate is dry, crisp, and linear, with lively acidity and a saline finish that underscores its limestone origins. A pure, refreshing expression of Aligoté—balanced and invigorating.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect as an apéritif or alongside oysters, goat cheese, and fresh salads. Excellent with seafood and lightly dressed vegetable dishes.
