Bourgogne Aligoté En Gerlieus Cassiopée 2021
The wine
Nestling in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the en Gerlius climat is home to plots of Aligoté, some of the vines are on average thirty-year-old while others are close to eighty-five. The Aligoté vines stretch along a north-east-facing slope, near the commune of Chassey le Camp. Each parcel is organically farmed, combined with a natural approach and a number of biodynamic practices. During vinification, the two sections of Aligoté vines are aged separately before being blended and bottled.
The pale colour graced with light green tints reveals an expressive nose of fruit and floral aromas with a hint of minerality. The taut, lively palate reveals superb balance, leading to a fresh, flavoursome finish. An authentic and delicious cuvée to be enjoyed young.
