Bourgogne AOC Aligoté 2022 Olivier Leflaive

What kind of wine it is

This Bourgogne Aligoté is a white wine produced by Olivier Leflaive, made from Aligoté grapes. Born in Burgundy, it offers a profile marked by elegance and a smooth texture, with a full-bodied mouthfeel. Vinification in steel and maturation in the same material aim to preserve a clear and consistent expression up to bottling.

Where it comes from

This Bourgogne Aligoté comes from vineyards located in the heart of Burgundy, a French wine region known for wines with a restrained and linear character. Its regional origin defines a style that highlights the distinctive qualities of Aligoté, focusing on finesse rather than opulence.

How it is made

The Aligoté grapes are entirely hand harvested and selected. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, ensuring precise process management. After fermentation, the wine ages for several months in steel, with no declared wooden vessels, and is then bottled.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a bright golden yellow. The nose reveals notes of butter and cut hay, accompanied by a mineral undertone that completes the bouquet. On the palate, it is soft and full, with an enveloping texture and a finish reminiscent of the mineral sensations perceived on the nose.

Food pairing

It pairs easily with salads and steamed vegetables, where its smoothness supports the vegetal elements without overpowering them. It is also suitable for tapas, cured meats, and finds a natural harmony with goat cheeses, enhancing simple and flavorful dishes.

When to serve it

It is ideal for an aperitif and light lunches, when you want a white with a smooth texture and full flavor. At the table, it goes well with starters and simple dishes, especially if goat cheese or vegetables are included, maintaining a clean and distinctive aromatic profile.
