Cask sample. A bright mix of herbs and fresh pears on the nose, plus a pure citrus streak. Great stony tension on the palate, the fruit returning on the finish. A deliciously refreshing bite at the end. Drink 2024 - 2030julia_harding MW, JancisRobinson.com (January 2023)

The 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté was picked on 11 October and will be bottled before Christmas. It has a taut, fresh nose with linden and frangipane scents. The palate is well-balanced and very effortless, with touches of stem ginger that liven the finish. This is a perfectly fine Aligoté.Drink 2023 - 2027Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (November 2022)

Bright and fresh aromas include those of just sliced citrus, spice and green apple. The beautifully detailed flavours are less dense, but they're even more energetic while terminating in a bone-dry yet not really austere finale. This is also quite good for its level and worth checking out.Drink from 2024 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (June 2023)

About this wine

Aligoté

A grape that was first recorded in Burgundy in the 18th century and is still planted almost exclusively there, though there are limited plantings in Bulgaria, Moldavia and even California. It is a moderate-yielding grape that tends to perform best on south-east facing slopes and in warm, dry years.

Domaine Comte Armand

Owned by the family of the Comte Armand since 1825, Clos des Epeneaux is among Pommard’s most revered vineyards. Post-phylloxera, it wasn’t replanted until 1930. Further vineyards were acquired in ’94: Auxey-Duresses, Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru, Volnay and Volnay’s Frémiets. The modern era effectively began with Pascal Marchand, who was succeeded as winemaker by Benjamin Leroux. When Ben left in 2014 to focus on his own business, Paul Zinetti took the reins.
