2022 Chanterêves Bourgogne Aligoté "Mainbey", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2022 Chanterêves Bourgogne Aligoté "Mainbey" is a standout expression of Burgundy’s lesser-known white grape, Aligoté. Sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of the "Mainbey" parcel, this wine benefits from limestone-rich soils and a cool climate, which contribute to its striking freshness and minerality. Vinified with native yeasts and aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, the wine maintains its pure fruit character while gaining subtle complexity. This Aligoté is a versatile wine, perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, salads, or light cheeses.
