Aligote

Domaine Roulot

Bourgogne Aligoté 2010

Me to a friend, “why don’t you also bring the Roulot Aligote you will thank me for taking a dead bottle out of your inventory “. Upon opening a subdued nose and palate. We poured some in our glass and went back to the other wines on the table. I could not believe the transformation that took place over 20 minutes.. The nose blossomed and the palate put on weight. A floral nose was joined by a palate of peach, minerals, and a hint of earth. A wine that was able to live because of its abundant acidity. . Once again I was forced to drink my words. — 3 days ago

Uh, @Ira Schwartz, love it — “I was forced to drink my words” — somehow I think you knew exactly what you were doing and got to experience a properly aged Aligote!! 🤔🤷😂

@Doug Powers We never met and you know me well. However really was in this case, trying to help my friend reduce the number of potentially dead bottles. The funny thing is his three bottles came from me. At one time I bought that by the case because it was so good and reasonably priced ( and my girlfriend loved it).

Domaine Rougeot

Les Plumes Bourgogne Aligote 2019

This is really fresh, really good. Bold nose of apricot, amber and ripe yellow fruits waft forth with a gentle spice interwoven throughout. Medium body with nice legs, the palate is acidic and mineral forward, with bright lemon, cumquat and slightly underripe orange. Dry, mineral driven finish, all around this is a very special, golden wine. — 5 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Bourgogne Aligoté 2009

The 2009 Bourgogne Aligoté pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with pungent notes of matchstick and flint with some notes of lemon, apple, herbs and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and saline. Even her Aligote is remarkable and, apparently, age-able. Drink now through 2029. — 2 years ago

Very reduced initially - some manure notes. With air it becomes much more pleasant, moving into struck match, lemon pith and orchard fruit, mineral and bright acid ⚡️ — 4 years ago

Bourgogne Aligoté 2018

So lucky to get to try this. We only got 1 case allocated. Aligote is the “second” grape but when well made is memorable. Tart green apple, underripe tangerine, lemon and some salinity. Chablis on steroids. Just a complex bottle of wine. — 6 years ago
