The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Aligoté is a beautifully fresh and mineral-driven white from one of Burgundy’s most respected modern producers. Crafted from carefully selected Aligoté vineyards across the Côte d’Or, the wine highlights the variety’s natural tension, citrus purity and bright acidity while retaining impressive texture and balance. The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white flowers layered alongside wet stone and subtle saline notes, giving the wine freshness and lift.

On the palate, it is light-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, crisp citrus fruit and a clean mineral line. Layers of lemon, orchard fruit and delicate savoury notes are balanced by refreshing tension and a lightly chalky finish, creating a wine that feels precise, energetic and highly drinkable.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Aligoté is a superb modern Aligoté — crisp, mineral and beautifully refined with excellent freshness and versatility. Perfect with oysters, grilled seafood, goat’s cheese, fresh salads or lighter poultry dishes. Enjoy now through 2030+.

About the region

Burgundy

Burgundy, or Bourgogne, runs north to south through eastern France, from Chablis through the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune to the Mâconnais. Almost everything here is Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, grown on small parcels called climats that have been mapped for centuries and ranked from regional and village wines up to Premier Cru and Grand Cru. The result is wine of unusual precision: the same grape, a few hundred metres apart, tasting unmistakably different.
