The 2024 Domaine Clement Lavallee Aligote is a vibrant white from northern Burgundy, made entirely from Aligoté. Sourced from a small vineyard near Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, it opens with citrus, white flowers and fresh orchard fruit alongside grapefruit and subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it is dry, energetic and finely textured, with lively acidity supporting juicy citrus and fresh fruit flavours. The Pariot cuvée combines stainless-steel maturation with used barrels, bringing additional weight and lees-derived texture without overwhelming Aligoté’s natural freshness. The finish is crisp, harmonious and mineral-driven.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Aligoté drinkers who enjoy bright, energetic Burgundy with fresh acidity, fine texture and mineral character. Enjoy young for its freshness or allow some bottle development. Ideal with oysters, prawns, grilled fish, calamari, roast chicken or goat’s cheese.
