ANNE BOISSON BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉ BLANC: The Meursault-Adjacent Aligoté

Anne Boisson, based in the heart of Meursault, approaches the oft-overlooked Aligoté grape with the same meticulous care reserved for her family’s world-class Chardonnay. This bottling is a revelation, proving that Aligoté, when grown on prime clay-limestone terroir and treated with minimal intervention, can deliver a complexity and depth rivaling its more famous neighbors on the Côte de Beaune.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: A pale, brilliant yellow hue with subtle green reflections, indicating freshness and energy.
• Nose: An expressive and refined bouquet featuring vibrant citrus notes (lime, grapefruit), white peach, and delicate white flowers, underpinned by a distinct mineral edge.
• Palate: The wine strikes the palate with an energetic, focused attack. The high, yet perfectly integrated, acidity provides a thrilling tension and a sense of great length. Flavors of sharp citrus and green apple transition to a persistent, saline, and mineral-driven finish. A pure, powerful, and precise wine.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve this exceptional dry white wine chilled (50-54°F / 10-12°C) to fully appreciate its vibrant acidity.

• Serving: Excellent as a sophisticated aperitif or alongside rich seafood dishes.
• Cellaring Potential: Drink now or hold for 5-7 years.
