The 2022 Taupenot-Merme Bourgogne Aligoté is a vibrant and finely crafted white wine from Burgundy, produced by the highly respected Domaine Taupenot-Merme. Made from the Aligoté grape, it offers a fresh and expressive alternative to Chardonnay, with aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white flowers complemented by subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it is crisp and energetic, with bright acidity driving flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and a touch of saline minerality. The texture is clean and precise, delivering freshness and balance through to a long, dry finish with excellent purity.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Aligoté for those looking to explore one of Burgundy's classic white varieties in a focused and terroir-driven style. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak. Pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled seafood, goat's cheese, fresh salads and light vegetable-based dishes.
