Alice et Olivier De Moor
Plantation 1902 Bourgogne Aligoté
Chalky minerality, salinity, citrus and pomaceous fruits. High acidity, medium+ finish. Good concentration. Called it Chablis. I guess I wasn’t entirely wrong 😆.

Dec 5th, 2022For a grape varietal not known for aging this bottle taught me once again what happens when you assume. On the nose a nice ocean breeze with a hint of apple . It was the palate that had me talking to myself. A complex mixture of mint , salt and peach. The star of the show however is this wines acid spine which gave it wonderful cut and freshness.

Aug 8th, 2017Aligote is a shamefully under-rated variety, been playing with it a little bit in Napa. It is a very structured (as in tannic) variety, which contributes to the food pairing abilities of this grape. This wine really shows that structure, with gorgeous apple and pear aromas and cleansing acidity. Delicious.
