The 2023 Chanterêves Bourgogne Aligoté Les Chagniots is a beautifully expressive Aligoté from a tiny parcel of century-old vines located between Ladoix and Corgoloin in Burgundy. Farmed with meticulous care using organic practices and minimal-intervention winemaking, this rare vineyard produces a wine of remarkable purity and finesse. The nose opens with aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle, lemon zest and crisp orchard fruit, complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle minerality.
On the palate, it is vibrant and finely textured, with bright natural acidity carrying flavours of citrus, green apple and white peach. Gentle lees ageing adds subtle depth, while the old vines contribute impressive concentration and a long, elegant finish marked by chalky minerality and freshness.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Aligoté for those looking to explore one of Burgundy's most exciting expressions of the variety. Pair with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, goat's cheese, sushi or herb-roasted chicken. Enjoy now for its vibrant energy or cellar for the next 5–8 years as it develops further complexity.
