Product notes
The Aligoté grape has been known in Burgundy since the 17th century. It does marvelously well here. Official granting of the AOC Bourgogne Aligoté dates back 1937. The grapes come exclusively from our vines located in Saint-Aubin territory. Albus means Aubin in Latin
Production notes
Handpicked harvest. Traditional fermentation in French oak barrels (3 to 5 years old) for 18-20 months followed by 2-3 months in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting notes
The nose evokes acacia, white flowers, and hazel-bordered country lanes. Flinty mineral notes and lemon complete a classic bouquet, to which may sometimes be added a discreet touch of honey or warm croissant. In the mouth its meaty, well-built body and luxurious vivacity brings out the distinct personality of the Aligoté grape.
