Alice et Olivier De Moor
Plantation 1902 Bourgogne Aligoté
Aligote is a shamefully under-rated variety, been playing with it a little bit in Napa. It is a very structured (as in tannic) variety, which contributes to the food pairing abilities of this grape. This wine really shows that structure, with gorgeous apple and pear aromas and cleansing acidity. Delicious.

Nov 3rd, 2014Another great one from de Moor! Lemon pith, sea spray, yellow plum. I can't imagine an aligote I'd rather drink

Mar 29th, 2014Last bottle of 2012 and pretty much confirms my thought that this is one of the best wines Olivier and Alice have made together.
