The 2023 Chanterêves Bourgogne Aligoté Les Monts de Fussey is a distinctive Aligoté from a high-altitude vineyard near the village of Fussey in Burgundy's Hautes-Côtes. Planted on stony limestone and marl soils with naturally low yields, this site produces a wine of remarkable freshness and mineral precision. Crafted with Chanterêves' minimal-intervention philosophy, the nose opens with aromas of green apple, lemon zest and white flowers, complemented by subtle saline and flinty notes.
On the palate, it is crisp and beautifully textured, with bright acidity carrying flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate lees complexity. A chalky mineral backbone and long, dry finish give the wine excellent energy and balance, while gentle barrel ageing adds texture without overshadowing its purity.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who appreciate vibrant, terroir-driven Burgundy whites with precision and finesse. Pair with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sushi, goat's cheese or roast chicken with herbs. Enjoy now for its lively freshness or cellar for the next 5–8 years as additional complexity develops.
