Aligoté

Domaine Roulot

Bourgogne Aligoté 2010

Me to a friend, “why don’t you also bring the Roulot Aligote you will thank me for taking a dead bottle out of your inventory “. Upon opening a subdued nose and palate. We poured some in our glass and went back to the other wines on the table. I could not believe the transformation that took place over 20 minutes.. The nose blossomed and the palate put on weight. A floral nose was joined by a palate of peach, minerals, and a hint of earth. A wine that was able to live because of its abundant acidity. . Once again I was forced to drink my words. — 5 days ago

@Doug Powers We never met and you know me well. However really was in this case, trying to help my friend reduce the number of potentially dead bottles. The funny thing is his three bottles came from me. At one time I bought that by the case because it was so good and reasonably priced ( and my girlfriend loved it).

@Ira Schwartz, we may have never met, but I know your type, since I’m probably 98% or more like you when it comes to our wine-related passion — just jerking your chain for grins, no harmful intent!! 🤷

Grande Réserve Perle de Vigne Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Chardonnay Blend

Color is a little darker than I expected!

Smells like red apple and seaweed…and cured turkey.

Tastes very apple-y, but more of a sweet apple than a tart apple. Some cherry. A little toast and a slight champagne-y quality. Enjoyable. Good deal for the pricier liquor stores in the area I am visiting. 89.

Domaine François Carillon

Bourgogne Aligoté 2018

Subtle with some wet stones, minty herbs, a shy hint of orchard apple. A whiff of mushrooms undergrowth. Quite cool and with nice energy.
Nice mouthfeel with juicy, vibrant acidity, a mineral, salty, energetic backbone and almost a hint of tannin.
Savoury, herby, juicy, fresh. Excellent with some appetizers, so food friendly.
Light be a bit austere for sipping alone, delicious nonetheless!

Domaine Leroy

Bourgogne Aligoté 2009

The last time I was fortunate to enjoy the 2009 Bourgogne Aligoté was early 2025 so imagine my excitement to try this again. Looking back at my previous notes, not much has changed!

Opened about 30min prior to service. The 2009 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is still developing and reductive (as is common) with strong notes of struck match, apple, lime, herbs and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and a touch saline. Worked well with toro crudo. This bottle still needs air. Remarkable Aligoté. I’m revising my previous assessment on drinking window; this example seems to have the stuffing to show deep into next decade. Drink now with maybe a short decant, through 2039. Bottle No. 10848/15579

Varietally correct, a nice summer wine; dry minerals and some citrus and floral character. The Villaine name jacked the price up and it’s simply not worth it. — 2 months ago
