Vignerons de Buxy
Silex Buissonnier Bourgogne Aligoté
Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France
Very light buttery wine with notes of minerality, hence the type of soil that the Aligoté grape is grown in. This is a first for me so I did some research. I also love the fact that they are aged in stainless steel vats; therefore, no oakiness. Will pair nicely with a chicken pasta dish.

Aligote: the oft maligned & forgotten white grape of Burgundy - I've had mixed results over the years, but this was the best i've ever tasted. some age darkened this up w/deeper yellow & greenish hues overlaid with straw. complex nose infused w/subtle lingering oak accents boasted mango & guava and a tropical fruit nose, savory, biscuit, herbal, minerals, stale 7up, and some pleasant oxidative notes. palate was suave & rich, silky yet brimming w/acidity mingling nicely with our salad & smoked salmon.
