Your questions, our answers.

Is this Bourgogne Aligoté a good choice if I’m looking for freshness without an overly austere palate?

The description combines lively acidity with a supple, mineral palate. This profile suggests a balance between freshness and softness, rather than an exclusively sharp expression.

Is it a good choice if I enjoy whites with citrus aromas?

Citrus is certainly part of the profile described, but it is not the only note: peach, apple, and pear add a dimension of white fruit. Floral aromas round out the wine, so it is not limited to a lemony style.

Does the 2016 frost mean this vintage is less successful?

The late-April frost severely reduced the Burgundy harvest, but the Mâconnais was less affected than the Côte d’Or. The description instead highlights flavorful whites with lively acidity, following a late harvest in mid-September. A reduced harvest does not mean this is a vintage to avoid.

Why choose this 2016 rather than a 2022 or 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté from the catalog?

This 2016 has a described profile: fruity, floral, supple, and mineral, with lively acidity. The information provided about the other wines is not enough to compare their styles or conclude that this wine would now taste more evolved.

What occasion would be a good one to open this bottle for?

A tasting devoted to the different expressions of Aligoté in Burgundy would be a fitting occasion, given its Mâconnais origins in Prissé. The notes provided offer aromas to look for in the glass: citrus, white fruit, flowers, and a balance between softness and acidity.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
