Lafarge Bourgogne Aligote Raisins Dores 2022 (750ML)

89 WA / 87-89 VM / 85-87 JM

Picked on September 17, the 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés exhibits aromas of sweet yellow orchard fruit, white flowers and buttery pastry, followed by a medium-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's satiny and layered.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés has a very pure bouquet, quite entrancing, with scents of honeysuckle, quince and Japanese yuzu. Lovely definition. The palate is well-balanced with a spicy entry. It’s a lively Aligoté with a touch of pepperiness towards the finish. Delightful.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Picked on 17th September. Mid lemon, not much nose, some liquorice, a thick texture on the palate, lowish acidity for Aligoté and 12.8% alcohol. This was clearly a choice, but I suspect I might have preferred greater vitality from an earlier picking date. Drink from 2024-2027. Tasted Dec 2023.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
