Bourgogne Aligoté Mongeard-Mugneret (Domaine) 2016

The Aligoté that goes into making this cuvée is grown sustainably in the lieu-dit ‘Les Champs d’Argent’. Between 25 and 40 years old, the vines benefit from a terroir that sits at 240 metres of altitude, its soils rich in gravel and chalky pebbles. The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted meticulously. Vinified without destemming, the Aligoté is matured in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness and vivacity of its aromatic notes. The wine is bottled quite early, too, for the same reason. When tasting, we discover a pale golden colour that gives off typical notes of white fruit, white flowers, citrus and vegetal aromas. On the palate there is an energy and a tartness. These characteristics make this a good aperitif wine. Alternatively, it can be served with simple, traditional dishes such as grilled sausage or charcuterie.
