Having had almost no memorable aligotés in my life up to this point and so no real points of comparison I will attest that this is delicious and makes me wonder why I haven’t been drinking more. Noticeable oak but it provides a wonderful tension between vanilla opulence and the lithe acids of the variety.

Not nearly as good as the last bottle of this we tried. What gives, Anne? (Disjointed, maybe heat damage)

Hallelujah! These past few bottles of Aligoté continue to hit the sweet spot for acid, the tightrope walk between reduction / oxidation, minerality, and expression of vintage. Solid and oh so pure
