Winemaker / Tasting Notes
Jerome Galeyrand’s Bourgogne Aligoté “Alligotay” is a vibrant and refreshing expression of the often-underappreciated Aligoté grape. This wine pours a pale, golden-yellow color with shimmering green highlights, reflecting its youthful energy and purity. The nose is immediately inviting, offering a bouquet of crisp green apples, zesty lemons, and juicy white peaches, intertwined with delicate floral notes of acacia and a hint of fresh herbs. Subtle nuances of wet stone and a whisper of saline minerality add depth and complexity to the aromatic profile. On the palate, “Alligotay” is bright and lively, with a racy acidity that brings a refreshing crispness to each sip. The clean and precise fruit flavors echo the nose, dominated by citrus and orchard fruits, with a touch of almond and a slight creamy texture from its lees aging. The wine’s mineral backbone provides a firm structure, leading to a clean, invigorating finish that leaves a lasting impression of its purity and finesse.
