Starts very well, a little bit lighter behind, fine clean finish with some length. Very much a classic Aligoté. Bottled in July at 12% Drink from 2023-2025." Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
- ABOUT THE WINE: Blending of plots located in Puligny-Montrachet and Corpeau. Average age of vines, 36 years. Aged for 10 months (60% stainless steel, 40% in oak).
