2024 Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Aligoté 750mL

A small amount of Aligote from vines located in the Hautes Cotes (95% of this comes from 30-80 yo vines in the village of Villers-la-Faye above Corgoloin and 5% from vines in Nuits St Georges planted in 2011). This bright pure white makes a brilliant addition to the Cathiard range, and what a great success this is. Pure fine and fresh this wine shows excellent depth and polish and great refreshment. Fermented and matured in stainless steel tank this is 100% de-stemmed (as are all his red wines) and shows Cathiards trademark intensity and purity.

2023 review:
"Bottled Spring 2024. Pale in colour, with quite an austere, lean nose. Quite a green fruit on the palate. Tasted early on a Monday morning, first wine of the week, so I may have found this more aggressive than it really is. A little note of almond paste to finish. Drink from 2026-2027. Tasted Nov 2024." 87 Points - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
