PRE ARRIVAL 2023 Domaine de la Rochette Bourgogne Aligote Les 17 Rangs 750ml bottle

DUE APRIL 2026

Vaslin pressed, then fermented in 350 litre barrels which the Burriers buy second hand from a grower in Chassagne-Montrachet. Full yellow with a green tint. The grapes are not in fact Aligoté doré because Frédéric wants the greener touch. A little spice on the nose. Middleweight fruit, slightly lacks the concentration through the middle, though with a pleasing finish. Drink from 2024-2026. Tasted Mar 2024. 87 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

'A very aligoté-like nose features notes of green apple, spice and plenty of citrus. I like both the texture and the energy of the delicious and fleshy middle weight flavors that conclude in a refreshing, clean, dry and lemon-tinged finish. This is very good for what it is and if you like aligoté, this is a quality example.' 87 points - Allen Meadows, Burghound
