The name Cassiopée evokes finesse, light, and uniqueness. All qualities that the estate aims to reflect in this Aligoté cuvée, which is both citrusy and floral, born of the Mitancherie terroir.
More infoThe locality of Mitancherie, situated on the classic limestone and clay-limestone soils typical of Burgundy, imparts a refreshing minerality and a beautiful tension on the palate to this cuvée. The combination of these soils with a temperate climate creates a perfect balance, allowing the Aligoté to showcase its lively character. The history of this vineyard reflects a century-old winemaking heritage, where sustainable practices have always been upheld to preserve the authenticity of the terroir. The winemaking process is carried out in stainless steel vats to maintain the purity and freshness of the Aligoté grapes' aromas. No oak ageing is used, allowing the true expression of the terroir to shine through.
The wine presents a pale yellow colour with subtle green hues, a sign of its youth. The nose is expressive, revealing notes of lemon, green apple, and white flowers. On the palate, the attack is vibrant, followed by a lovely minerality and a light salinity on the finish, an unmistakable signature of the limestone terroir.
