2021 Bourgogne Aligoté, Clos des Perrières la Combe, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair

Description

The site from which this Bourgogne Aligoté comes is an old quarry, situated in the combe above Nuits-St Georges. The vineyard was planted in 1978 with Aligoté Dorée, an older clone of the variety with – as the name suggests – more golden skin. This encourages Thibault to allow the wine about a week of skin contact, giving it a pithy texture.

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.
