Domaine Chavy-Chouet
Les Petits Poiriers Bourgogne Aligoté
this might be my first Aligote. round and waxy, a little fuller bodied. orange peel, heavy grapefruit, citrus, mineral. extremely high acid. some of the citrus is really underripe or extra tart. also getting a lot of salty character. interesting wine , will let it evolve over a few hours

Mar 25th, 2022Beautiful aromatics with ripe lemons, (over)ripe honey melon, after a while, a seductive note of fresh apple pie. A bit of popcorn shows up later.
On the palate this is crystal clear, linear, bone dry, with lemony acidity and a mineral finish that just doesn’t finish. Almost slightly tannic. This drinks like a dream!An amazing discovery!
