FEATURES
Domaine Boisson, situated in Meursault, was until recently a hidden gem. The Boisson family is celebrated for crafting some of Burgundy's most captivating wines. Anne Boisson's Aligoté stands apart from typical "work-a-day" Aligoté, offering a thrilling cut and jagged minerality. The 2020 Aligoté vintage is particularly noted for delivering "more of everything," with the grape's "zingy electricity" shining through, enhanced by an added dimension of power and polish. This wine enjoys a strong following, though it can be challenging to find in significant quantities.
This Bourgogne Aligoté exudes vibrant citrus aromas, particularly lime and grapefruit, complemented by empyreumatic and buttery notes. On the palate, the acidity is pronounced yet beautifully balanced and integrated. Further tasting notes include lemon, minerals, stone, honey, oak, vanilla, pear, green apple, cream, cheese, yogurt, almond, toast, biscuit, tropical fruit, honeysuckle, jasmine, anise, fennel seed, and grass. It showcases a piercing and complex minerality, reminiscent of a Chablis-like sea breeze, along with smoky and pulverized rock notes, and layered citrus nuances of grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and lime.
🍴 This Burgundy White wine is an excellent match for shellfish, pasta, rich fish such as salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and cured meats. Specific recommendations include oysters, sea bass, and goat cheese.
🥂 Ideal for those seeking an exceptional and distinctive white Burgundy that transcends the usual expectations for Aligoté. Its thrilling minerality and vibrant character make it perfect for a sophisticated aperitif or a meal where a crisp, acidic white wine is desired. 【 An "electric overachiever" Aligoté with thrilling cut and jagged minerality 】
