Le Bon Climat Aligoté

Tangerine, white cherry, crushed stone, a bit sour. Interesting.

I believe this is a relatively new project for Jim - great execution as always

wonderful rare varietal from expert Jim Clendenen.

Tart and lemony. Wasn’t paying close attention when drinking. Looking forward to trying this again.

Took a trip to CA to visit my daughter & taste some great wines I cannot readily get back east. We visited AuBonClimat, and I was introduced to some of Jim Clendenen’s, projects of passion, his CFV 2014 Aligoté. Straw yellow with stone fruit and light floral aromas. The wine was aged for 10 months on older French oak. On the palate, pear and peach flavors with lemony nuances, slightly tart with a mineral elegance. On the medium finish slight oak tones are present ending with liberal minerality. Very nice!

Really loved the scale - reminded me of stopping off at White Castle with Jim C someplace in the middle of Ohio!

Yum.

Well done. Very enjoyable and versatile.
