Your questions, our answers.

Is this Champ Forey a good choice if I’m looking for an Aligoté with depth?

Yes: the description emphasizes its depth of terroir, beyond that of a simple thirst-quenching wine. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for an Aligoté that combines energy with presence on the palate.

Is this white wine shaped more by ripeness or by precision?

The 2020 combines both: it is described as ripe and finely delineated. It may therefore appeal to wine lovers who don’t want to choose between ripe expression and precise contours.

Is salinity an important factor when choosing this bottle?

Yes, it is one of the notable characteristics mentioned, alongside the wine’s energy. If you’re looking for this saline quality in a white wine, it’s a more useful guide here than a preference for specific aromas, which are not detailed.

What should I look for when tasting this 2020 Champ Forey?

Pay attention to how the wine’s ripeness is balanced by its finely delineated character. Energy, salinity and depth are the other points to look for, rather than focusing solely on an immediate aromatic expression.

Is there enough information to prefer the 2020 Champ Forey over the 2023?

The 2020’s profile is documented: ripe, finely delineated, energetic and saline. However, no tasting note is provided for the 2023, so it’s not possible to say which would be livelier, fuller-bodied or more evolved.
