"The 2015 Bourgogne Aligoté, which is aged in five- to eight-year-old barrels, has a light and slightly grassy bouquet. The palate has a pleasant roundness with moderate acidity, the barrel maturation lending some body to this wine, with a gentle toffee apple, brioche and marzipan finish. You know what? It seems an atypical and exotic Aligoté, but I hazard a guess that I would still finish a bottle."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
