2022 Marthe Henry Boillot Bourgogne Aligote
The Bourgogne Aligoté from Marthe Henry Boillot showcases the exceptional quality this secondary Burgundian grape can achieve in the hands of a meticulous grower. Sourced from vines around the Côte de Beaune, this is a brilliantly pure and refreshing white wine. The 2022 vintage offers a zesty nose of grapefruit, lemon peel, and fresh white blossoms, complemented by the grape's signature saline, mineral edge. The palate is crisp, linear, and energetic, with a delightful tension and a long, clean finish. This is an elegant, structured Aligoté that far surpasses the typically simple style, making it a perfect aperitif or partner for seafood.
