The 2024 Théo Dancer Bourgogne Aligoté Magnum (1500ml) is a beautifully crafted Aligoté from Burgundy, France, sourced from a small parcel of organic old vines in Meursault. Produced under Théo Dancer's micro-négociant project, the wine is naturally fermented with wild yeasts, aged on its lees in large-format old oak barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The nose is bright and expressive, offering aromas of lemon zest, green apple and ripe pear, complemented by white flowers, chalky minerality and subtle savoury notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of citrus, crisp orchard fruit and preserved lemon are layered with gentle stone fruit and a distinctive mineral edge, leading to a long, fresh finish. Lees ageing adds texture and complexity while preserving the wine's purity and precision, making it an outstanding expression of modern Burgundy Aligoté.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an excellent choice for lovers of mineral-driven Burgundy whites with freshness and finesse. It pairs beautifully with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, roast chicken, sushi or soft goat's cheese. Enjoy now for its vibrant energy, or cellar for the next 8–10 years, with the magnum format allowing the wine to develop even greater complexity over time.
