About

The vines for this white wine are planted on soil consisting mainly of silt and clay. The grapes are harvested mechanically, and this aligoté is then aged in vats for 6 to 8 months. The 2020 vintage is exceptional, offering fruity, complex wines with good acidity that brings great freshness.

Your questions, our answers.

Should I choose this Bourgogne Aligoté for its oaky notes?

It is aged in vats for 6 to 8 months, not in barrels. The information provided highlights fruit, complexity and freshness rather than an oaky character.

Is it suitable if I’m looking for an Aligoté that is more than just easy-drinking and fruity?

The 2020 vintage is described as fruity, but also complex and possessing lovely acidity. On paper, it therefore fits the bill if you’re looking for fruit accompanied by greater nuance.

What should I pay attention to when tasting this 2020?

Notice how the fruity character works together with the acidity, which is described as a source of great freshness. The description does not specify which fruits to expect, so it is best to discover them in the glass rather than expect a particular aroma.

What should I look for when comparing it with the other Bourgogne Aligotés in the catalogue?

For this René Cacheux 2020, the documented points of reference are vat aging and a fruity, complex and fresh profile. Without equivalent tasting notes for the other wines, it is not possible to say that it is livelier, fuller-bodied or more expressive than they are.

Can the silt and clay soil give an indication of a rounded palate or mineral notes?

The soil composition is stated, but no specific connection to the texture or mineral expression is given. When choosing this bottle, the indications of fruit, complexity and acidity are therefore more concrete points of reference.
