Tasting

To the eye

A pale, crystalline gold colour, with silvery highlights that hint at great freshness.

Nose

A striking and remarkably crisp bouquet. It bears Thierry Pillot’s signature: a refined, toasty reduction that gives way to lemon zest, Granny Smith apple and notes of hedge flowers. A hint of salt and chalk rounds off this lively nose.

Palate

The attack is lively and crisp. On the palate, it is straightforward, driven by a ‘laser-like’ tension typical of the grape variety, yet with a surprising fullness of body for an Aligoté. This is a vibrant wine, where the acidity is perfectly integrated into a silky texture. You can sense the limestone minerality that gives the wine its length.

Pairing

First and foremost, a wine to accompany fine dining. Superb with oysters, a lime-flavoured scallop carpaccio, or artisanal parsley-crusted ham.

Aging potential

In 2026, this 2020 vintage will be at its peak. Thanks to its excellent acidity, it will continue to age beautifully over the next 3 to 5 years.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the sunny 2020 vintage produce an Aligoté that is more full-bodied or more lively?

The sunny character of the year does not diminish its freshness: this 2020 is described as having vibrant acidity and great purity. It is therefore suited to anyone looking for a lively white wine without sacrificing depth and structure.

Is there a risk that the barrel ageing will overpower the wine?

The wine is aged primarily in 500-litre demi-muids, specifically to avoid imparting too much oak character. The aim is to add structure rather than put the oak notes front and centre.

Is this an Aligoté to choose if I’m wary of overly light white wines?

Yes. Its profile goes beyond Aligoté’s natural liveliness: ageing also gives it depth. This does not mean it is described as powerful or opulent, but rather that it combines freshness and structure.

What occasion would be a good reason to choose this bottle?

A tasting focused on discovering Aligoté would be particularly fitting. This cuvée offers a chance to explore a facet of the grape in which vibrant acidity is accompanied by purity and depth.

What should I look for when comparing it with another Bourgogne Aligoté?

Keep three points in mind: lively acidity, depth on the palate and subtle oak. These are the characteristics highlighted for this 2020 Paul Pillot; without notes on the other bottle, it is not possible to draw a more precise comparison.
