Domaine Leroy
Bourgogne Aligoté
Burgundy, France
The 2009 Bourgogne Aligoté pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with pungent notes of matchstick and flint with some notes of lemon, apple, herbs and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and saline. Even her Aligote is remarkable and, apparently, age-able. Drink now through 2029.

Sep 15th, 2013Reductive, sulfur notes definitely there and can see why this is so maligned by many. However, the wine mellows out nicely once that dissipates and is actually pretty nice. Not a ton of complexity, but well balanced and refreshing.
