There are 2 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
From a domaine revered for its white wines, the 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté reflects Jean-Marc Roulot’s dedication to elevating this often-overlooked Burgundian variety. Sourced from old vines planted in and around Meursault, the wine is farmed organically and harvested by hand to preserve freshness and nuance.
Vinification is gentle and exacting: fermentation with native yeasts, followed by aging in mostly used French oak barrels (with a small proportion in stainless steel) for added textural complexity without overt wood influence. The result is a wine that is both accessible and refined—brimming with citrusy tension, herbal lift, and a pure expression of limestone terroir. It’s ideal with oysters, chèvre, or simply as a precise, palate-awakening apéritif.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Domaine Roulot, led by the meticulous and thoughtful Jean-Marc Roulot, is one of Burgundy’s most respected names, particularly renowned for its luminous, terroir-transparent white wines. Based in Meursault, the domaine has been a benchmark for Chardonnay, but Jean-Marc brings the same rigor and elegance to his Aligoté.
Roulot farms organically and emphasizes freshness, precision, and low intervention in the cellar. His Aligoté, once a footnote in the cellar, has become a cult favorite—showing that with the right approach and vineyard material, Aligoté can deliver complexity and class to rival its more famous cousins.
