Bourgogne Aligoté

Domaine Arlaud
# Burgundy White, 2021 Fresh, lively and beautifully pure, this white comes from a family estate in Morey-Saint-Denis known for its biodynamic approach and gentle hand in the cellar. The vines grow on limestone-rich soils across the Côte de Nuits, worked with real care and harvested by hand. Expect crisp green apple, citrus zest and a touch of white blossom, carried by a bright mineral streak that keeps everything clean and moreish. Ageing on fine lees adds a subtle roundness without masking the fruit. Lovely with oysters, goat's cheese or simply chilled on a sunny afternoon. An honest, food-friendly Burgundy that punches well above its price.
