Forget everything you thought you knew about Aligoté. This 2022 from Vincent Bachelet is no ordinary thirst-quencher – it’s a Burgundy with depth, precision and charm. Grown on the high-altitude slopes of Chassey-Le-Camp, with Jurassic marl soils, this wine exudes elegance from the first sniff to the last sip. 🍋🍐🧈
✨ Creamy, mineral and Chardonnay-esque
The nose is generous and slightly creamy: almond, lemon blossom, white peach and candied orange peel. The palate opens with zesty citrus freshness, followed by tension, minerality and just a touch of silky roundness typical of high-end Chardonnay.
This isn’t a lightweight wine – it’s an Aligoté with structure and presence. The finish is long, salty-mineral and subtly bitter, reminiscent of bergamot and citrus zest. A serious wine with Puligny-like sophistication – without the Puligny price tag.
🍇 100% Aligoté from hillside plots in Chassey-Le-Camp
⛰️ Soil: 30–40 meters of Toarcian marl from the Lower Jurassic period
🌱 Sustainably farmed using “intelligent” viticulture
✋ Hand-harvested grapes, whole-cluster pressing
🧫 Native yeast fermentation
🛢️ 11 months ageing on fine lees in used oak barrels
🧃 Followed by 1 month in stainless steel for balance and purity
🔒 Bottled with DIAM5® cork to prevent cork taint
This Aligoté should be treated like a white Premier Cru – serve with:
🦪 Oysters, scallops or sashimi
🐟 Poached or pan-seared white fish with beurre blanc
🥗 Salads with citrus dressing and soft goat cheese
🍝 Lemon butter linguine with fennel
🧀 Brie, Chaource or other soft cheeses
Vincent Bachelet – fourth-generation winemaker – took over the historic cellar in Chassagne-Montrachet in 2007. Together with his daughter Aurore (fifth generation), he manages 15 ha of premium vineyards across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.
Their Aligoté vines are located in Chassey-Le-Camp, on slopes rather than valley floors – a rarity for this grape. With thick layers of ancient marl and a focus on precision and sustainability, this wine reflects true Burgundy craftsmanship.
🍋 Aligoté with texture, energy and true terroir
🧈 Nutty and citrusy with a fine salty finish
🛢️ Gently oak-aged – refined, not overwhelming
⛰️ From unique marl slopes in Chassey-Le-Camp
