What a wine -- \"The Apprentice\"! Aligot, as wine writer Jon Bonn puts it, is at its best \"guided by rocks.\" Low-yielding, ripely picked Aligot from Volnay that shows what stately presence the grape can have -- reminiscent of Pataille but with a touch more youthful verve to it. Lightly aromatic a la pulverized rock Chablisien nose followed on by a dreamy palate of real balance. One of the best in recent memory....

100% Aligot from ~40 year-old vines grown in clay-dominant soils on a .58HA plot in the Cte de Beaune\'s Volnay. Directly pressed, the juice spontaneously ferments sur lie in a combination of neutral barrel and stainless steel tank. Racked to neutral barrel where the wine undergoes a 16-month levage. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2. Zero/zero. 12%ABV
