Product Description

The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté from Sainte-Marie-la-Blanche is a standout expression of Burgundy’s “other” white grape, crafted from old vines (Vieilles Vignes) planted on clay-limestone soils near Meursault. At Domaine Château de Laborde, meticulous vineyard care and traditional vinification deliver a wine that punches well above its humble appellation.

Hand-harvested and vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness, this cuvée offers vibrant citrus fruit, crisp acidity, and a chalky mineral core. Its old-vine origins add unexpected depth and texture, making it a serious Aligoté for enthusiasts and sommeliers alike.
