Aligoté
PDO Burgundy - Burgundy

Tasting:

The dress is golden yellow with golden button reflections. The disc is thick, shiny. The tears are fine, homogeneous, slow. The first nose reveals citrus fruits such as bitter orange, kabosu, lime. One evolves on a nose of acacia honey, ginger, mentholated notes. Airing amplifies the aromas. I now see notes of smoke, flint, almost flint. On the palate, the attack is frank and incisive, with notes of combava, guava and ripe wild mangoes. Then it is the turn of the terroir to make us salivate. A fresh terroir, surely covered with limestone alluvium. The finish is high in vivacity. A fine and elegant balance, a nice length in the mouth, about 6-7 caudalies.

Wine pairings!

Candied catfish back accompanied by pointed cabbage and a vinaigrette of elderflower. Pan-fried scallops soaked in foam, ginger and paprika, surrounded by lovage oil and accompanied by plantain banana chips.
