From Domaine de Cassiopée, this Aligoté comes from En Gerlieus, where cooler soils and thoughtful farming let the grape stretch out and show a little depth. In the glass, it’s zesty and clear-eyed—green apple, lemon peel, a whisper of pear—carried by a chalky, mineral pulse that feels distinctly Burgundian without trying too hard. What surprises most is the texture: gently velvety, with a lushness that softens the edges and keeps each sip feeling generous. It slips easily alongside oysters, roast chicken, or a bit of aged Comté, but it’s just as satisfying on its own while dinner is still a loose idea. Bright, grounded, and quietly confident, this is Aligoté doing more than expected—and doing it naturally.
