The leesiest aligote I've ever tasted. Fresh baked Challah wished it tasted like this!

Drinking this was mind bending. I had known of Bachelet but never expected greatness from the Aligoté grape. It is definitely still alive and kicking in 2017. Electricity on the palate that keeps giving and giving from the earth. Hay, underripe fruits, must've-been-malo creaminess. If you're sitting on this bottle overlook it no longer. It's singing to the heavens

Captured in the wild. Bottom shelf, no price tag, alone. 3 days ago...and this really threw me for a loop. Hands down best Bourgogne Blanc I’ve ever had. Malo, Battonage, oak, on a racy mineral ringing nerve of aligote?! Holding up like a fine 1er Cru white. What the hell?! I can’t believe I haven’t encountered this style anywhere. This is some brazen proof from Denis just how brilliant he is when it comes to making wine. Was really shining about 4 hours after opening, kept singing until it was finished about 20 hours later. Pina colada rich in minerals and acid. Hell yes.
