Tasting notes

The 2024 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés was picked September 20. It has a pretty nose with yellow plum, almond and light vanilla pod scents. The palate is nicely balanced with a waxy texture. As I find often apropos Aligoté, there is something that reminds me of a fine Chenin Blanc on the finish. Nice acidity on the finish, this is a delightful Aligoté from Lafarge.
