The 2021 Anne Boisson Bourgogne Aligote is a delightful representation of the Aligote varietal, which is often overshadowed by its more popular sibling, Chardonnay, in the Burgundy region of France. The color is a beautiful, transparent white, clear and bright as a spring morning, and the cork closure promises a traditional wine experience.
Produced by the meticulous Anne Boisson, this wine hails from the Cote de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy, an area known for its diverse range of fine white wines. The Bourgogne Aligote is the perfect example of the region's ability to produce elegant, complex, and highly enjoyable wines.
On the nose, this Aligote surprises with a lively bouquet of fresh green apple, crisp pear and nuanced floral notes. The palate continues the fruit-forward theme with vibrant citrus flavors, a hint of melon, and a dash of minerality that adds an extra layer of complexity. This is a dry, medium-bodied wine with a perfect balance between acidity and fruitiness that keeps it refreshing and light.
The 2021 vintage was a good one for Burgundy, and this Anne Boisson Aligote benefits from it. This wine is youthful, yet it already showcases a depth of character that will further develop with age. Despite its youth, it's a wine that can be enjoyed now, especially with seafood, poultry, or mild cheeses.
Overall, the 2021 Anne Boisson Bourgogne Aligote is a wine that showcases the potential of the Aligote grape, the skill of the producer, and the best of Burgundian terroir. It's a bottle that every white wine lover should experience.
