Domaine Boris Champy : Bourgogne Aligoté Doré "Sélection Massale" 2022

A streak of lemon is framed by toasty oak, and as this white settles in, a sapid, mineral element emerges. Focused by bracing acidity, this leaves a mouthwatering impression. Shows fine balance and length. Drink now through 2029. 100 cases imported.

Here’s a daring aligoté that’s been vinified in small oak cooperage. It has excellent integration of vanilla oak and cool citrus fruit on the barely medium-bodied palate. Lovely silky texture in spite of the crisp, lemony acidity. I love the positively austere, chalky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Unfiltered. Drink or hold.
