Bourgogne Aligote

2006 Maréchal Catherine et Claude Bourgogne Aligote

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Apparently made in a ‘hyperoxigenated’ way. Medium yellow. The first aromas are high-toned over a base of fruit that reminds me of pinot blanc. In the mouth it starts a little spritzy but slowly became softer in the glass. Blind, I didn’t guess aligoté. Reasonably long, relatively light bodied but with good balance.

2006 Roulot Guy Bourgogne Aligote

Maybe it was because I was just back from a 10 mile run, but this is/was a wonderfully refreshing drink. Soft and high-toned. Perfect balance and reasonably concentrated in the mouth – the acidity plays wonderfully across the tongue. On the negative side it’s rather simple for its price-tag – all the Roulot Bourgognes are priced above their quality level now – but it is a super drink.
