2023 Domaine Pierre Morey Bourgogne Aligoté, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Produced from 100% Aligoté grown in Burgundy, this wine reflects the grape’s naturally high acidity and affinity for limestone-rich soils. Often overshadowed by Chardonnay, Aligoté shines here as a precise, refreshing expression of terroir, offering both immediacy and charm.

The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, a hallmark of Domaine Pierre Morey’s philosophy, ensuring healthy soils and balanced vines. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed before fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Vinification typically takes place in stainless steel or neutral vessels, preserving the wine’s purity and freshness. A short period of lees aging adds a subtle roundness to the otherwise taut, linear profile.
