Maison Louis Jadot Bourgogne Aligoté 2020 (France)

Description

• Oaked
• Green apple
• Citrus
• Supple

"Fragrant, fruity, mineral and charming with aromas scents of fresh pear d’ Angou and apple, there’s a fine citrus grapefruit layer, a gentle mineral core suggesting white clay and limestone. Youthful, fresh and vibrant. Flavours mirror the bouquet with plenty of contrasting acidity highlighting the mineral aspect and bringing into focus the fruit flavours which now includes a touch of quince. Balanced and well made with a decent finish. Great aperitif or food wine with best drinking from 2021 through 2025+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2021

Pale yellow. Green apple and citrus. Supple and tangy.

The Louis Jadot Bourgogne Aligoté is produced from juices or grapes from local growers and from our properties. It originates from Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais, Côte d’Or (Meursault and Chenôve).

Grapes are harvested by hand and put in small cases in order not to damage the fruits. They are then softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels from our cooperage (1/3 are new). Aging usually lasts 15 months on fine lies before bottling.
