Wine Description for Bourgogne Aligoté AOC 2024 by AS Sirugue-Noëllat
- Colour & Appearance
- Pale straw yellow with brilliant clarity – a wine that promises freshness and vibrancy from the moment you pour it into the glass.
- Nose
- Cool fermented and remarkably clear in its aromatics: crisp apples and nashi pears dominate, accompanied by subtle exotic nuances and precise citrus fruit. The nose displays the typical directness of Aligoté without appearing one-dimensional.
- Palate
- Here this Aligoté unfolds its full charm: fresh and lively, with a green-yellow fruit character that oscillates between unripe gooseberry and ripe citrus fruit. The acidity is present and invigorating, but by no means aggressive – rather silky and perfectly integrated. The velvety texture surprises pleasantly and gives the wine an accessibility that makes it an ideal summer wine. At 12.5% alcohol, it remains light-footed and inviting to drink.
- Finish
- Medium length with lingering freshness and a clean, mineral aftertaste that invites you to take another sip.
- Terroir & Origin
- The small estate Sirugue-Noëllat in Vosne-Romanée is primarily known for its Pinot Noirs, but demonstrates with this Aligoté that it possesses craftsmanship even with Burgundy’s often underrated white variety. The cool fermentation underscores the region’s characteristic style.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- A classic companion to oysters, seafood and fish terrines. Excellent also with goat’s cheese, summer salads with vinaigrette or simply as an aperitif. The acidity structure makes it the perfect partner for Sauce Gribiche or poached trout.
- Special Features
- A true crowd-pleaser that demonstrates Aligoté can be far more than the little brother of Chardonnay. Perfect for those who appreciate uncomplicated yet characterful Burgundy wines – without stretching the budget for Meursault.
