Description
The 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté, which comes from old vines, has a fragrant Muscat and blossom tinged bouquet that is nicely defined. The palate has a lightly honeyed entry with crisp acidity and a beautifully poised, expressive finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent.
Producer Information: Domaine de Comte Armand
After a seven year apprenticeship, the capable Paul Zinetti has taken over here and done an exceptional job under tricky conditions. Fully organic since 2005 and now certified as biodynamic, the lower parts of the vineyard are worked by horse and the reduced compaction is already resulting in a better soil structure.
Epeneaux is, of course, one of the great reds of the Cotes de Beaune.
