While the other grapes that Nicolas grows from this same plot are from young vines, the Aligoté was planted in 1914. They are still delivering, with 65 hl/ha in 2022. What’s not to like when the result is this good. Deeper in colour, with a strikingly elegant bouquet, but that is nothing to the palate which has an exquisitely perfectly ripe fruit, caresses the mouth, finishing on refined acidity. This dances and is so persistent. Brilliant aftertaste.
