Bourgogne Aligoté AOC 2020 - Sylvain Loichet

In the glass, the organically produced Bourgogne Aligoté from the pen of Sylvain Loichet reveals a bright platinum yellow color. After the first swirl, one can perceive a perfect balance in this white wine, as it does not stand out watery or syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. In the glass, this white wine from Sylvain Loichet shows aromas of lemons and mirabelles, complemented by mineral. This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 1.6 grams of residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Frenchman enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced white wine is wonderfully velvety. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Bourgogne Aligoté flatters the palate with a pleasing feel, without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this youthful white wine from the Burgundy wine-growing region finally inspires with beautiful length. Hints of lemon and mirabelle plum are again apparent.

Vinification of the Bourgogne Aligoté by Sylvain Loichet

The basis for the balanced Bourgogne Aligoté from Burgundy are grapes from the grape variety Aligoté. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in large wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months in oak barrels.
