Tilleul 2020, Domaine Chevrot et Fils

Date Tasted: 5/2022

Aligoté is the second white grape in Burgundy. It was under the shadow of Chardonnay for many years since Chardonnay has a high commercial value. But in the last few years, some regional producers have tried to spotlight this stylish variety offering something new in the market. Success is on the corner.

Appearance: Medium bright lemon colour.

Nose: It has a charming aetherial bouquet full of white blossoms, jasmine, lemon, pear, wet gravel and cream. It is fresh yet ripe.

Palate: It is dry with high acidity and medium-bodied. It shows a natural finesse. It has a core of lemon with apricot and minerality, and the aftertaste is medium.

Drink or Hold: Although it is delicious now, it can age for 3-4 years.

Food Pairing: Light seafood is perfect.
