A fine, taut example of Burgundy’s ‘second’ white grape, aligoté. Sylvain Pataille matures this delicious wine in old 500-litre barrels to open up the citrusy palate but without masking it with any oak flavour. There’s plenty of fresh pear on the friendly and forward nose. Soft palate with good fruit. This is a tasty and very honest bourgogne. Good.
