Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
Unlike the rest of the Lafarge vineyards which were picked earlier than ever in August, their Aligoté was picked on 16th September. The warm late summer weather meant the 85-year-old vines’ development was blocked, and it wasn’t until mid-September that the grapes had reached the 12.8% alcohol. Waiting for this was a masterstroke, as the fruit developed a superb phenolic complexity, and this Aligoté is bright, dry, incisive and textural. The small golden-skinned berries of the ‘raisins dorés’ clone have produced a richness and incredible energy.

The 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés has a light bouquet with touches of yellow flowers and jasmine. The palate is fresh on the entry with a slightly waxy texture, fine acidity with a pithy finish. Fine.
