Stunning sélection massale old vine aligoté doré from Michel Lafarge.

Aligoté, primarily known as the other white grape of Burgundy has two primary types: Aligoté doré and Aligoté vert. Doré is the more highly regarded of the two, producing more expressive wines with concentration and depth.

Fruit is sourced just outside of Volnay. Certified organic and biodynamic. Direct press of whole clusters, fermented w/ native yeasts, and aged 15-18 months in used barrels.

Ripe yuzu, sweet citrus, quince w/ a hint of lees. Super stony nose. Dense and concentrated- juicy quince and citrus, weighty w/ round acidity. Good precision w/ lingering acidity. Moderate plus finish w/ a hint of an almond skin bitterness. 2022 shows a generous amount of fruit, but still very balanced w/ incredible tension.
