The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Vieilles Vignes from vines in Ladoix was aged 60% in cask 30% in amphora and 10% in neutral oak.. A wine of texture and depth the
From 60 year old vines grown in silty soil in Ladoix. Two thirds has been made in new wood and one third in amphora. To be bottled in December. Also pale in colour but with much more energy of fruit. Impressive purity and length with quite a weight of citrus centred fruit in between with white flesh beneath. A very good example.
whThe ?old? aligoté is from older vines (60 years) on the Ladoix side of the Corton hill. It was vinified in both amphorae (30%) and larger barrels hence the airy feel of large-format elevage. Deeper and more complex it?s quite reduced currently but is nonetheless a delightful wine. (Drink from 2024) ? Very Good ? (88-89p) ? Tasted 10/11/2023 ?
