2023 Bourgogne Aligoté, Domaine du Grison

Bourgogne Aligoté 2024 – Domaine du Grison

Light, smooth, and balanced in acidity and minerality. This Aligoté from Bray, near Cluny, demonstrates how refined and refreshing this grape variety can be. Rather than sharp acidity, it offers a saline minerality and an approachable structure. Noémie and Clément Blondeau craft an honest, focused wine with clear terroir expression.

The nose reveals a subtle bouquet of white flowers, citrus, and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is light on its feet and mineral-driven, supported by a distinct saline note. Aged entirely in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit and the soil.
