The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté Clos de Perričre la Combe underwent one-week of skin maceration with a ten-hour press and then directly into oak barrel for 15 months. This has an attractive nose with yellow fruit, egg whites and light floral aromas. The palate is well balanced with tropical notes on the entry countered by a keen thread of acidity (partly because the vines are planted in an old quarry). Good tension, this is a lovely Aligoté.

One week skin contact, vertical press, then straight to barrel without settling. Pale colour with a lime tint. An exquisite bouquet, ideally ripe, yet fully representative of the grape. Graceful, harmonious, fleshes out admirably on the palate, then refines to a beautifully saline finish. Thibault’s Bourgogne Aligoté Clos des Perričres is a knock out. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Nov 2024.
