From a 0.6-hectare holding, Dureuil's 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté offers up notes of honeycomb, freshly baked bread and flowers. Medium-bodied, with a satiny attack, bright acids and a saline finish, it's an attractive cuvée. This 20-hectare estate, one of the leading lights of southern Burgundy, has been directed by Vincent Dureuil-Janthial since 1994. Farming is to all intents and purposes organic, though no longer certified after the devastating 2016 growing season, and Dureuil believes in picking at full maturity, often harvesting later than his neighbors. Long pressing, lees retention and two winters' élevage (the second in vat) are the rudiments of his approach to white wine making. Reds see classical macerations in ancient open-top wood vats. Both colors mature in barrels made by Stéphane Chassin, formerly Dureuil's neighbor in Rully but now ensconced in more commodious facilities in Beaune. I'm including my reviews of Dureil's wines in this report not merely because he does produce several cuvées from Puligny-Montrachet and Nuits-Saint-Georges but also because the sophistication and quality of what he bottles from Rully can embarrass plenty of grander appellations to the north. The 2023s at this address show the flesh and fruit-forward generosity typical of the vintage but with the estate's trademark tension and precision, and they will offer broad drinking windows.

The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté, which comes from vines planted in 1985 close to the winery, has a pretty nose with light hints of lime and a touch of menthol in the background. The palate is well balanced and quite fresh with a keen line of acidity, satisfying waxy texture and a dab of stem ginger toward the finish. Fine.(NM)
