A legitimate alternative to ac Chablis. Beautiful, taut lines. Hard to be critical when they are this genuine.

Elegant and approachable Aligote in a great spot with five years of age. Nice tang up front with a long, soft, creamy finish. Apples and citrus. A nice pairing for risotto or tempura.

A little bottle age adds another dimension and more richness. Completely blows away bulk Chablis AC bottles(they say Chablis on label and taste innocuous). From vines taken back from Domaine Leflaive after the 2009 vintage, so debut vintage. A Domaine Olivier Leflaive wine: Recolte du Domaine as opposed to Produit du France.

Perfect beginning to the week. Perfect balance of acidity and structure to keep me coming for more.
