Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Aligoté 2022: A Burgundy Gem with Elegance and Depth

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the esteemed Cote de Beaune in Burgundy, France, this 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté by Domaine Roulot is a testament to meticulous winemaking. Sourced from vines in the Sous Le Chemin vineyard, the grapes were harvested a week after Chardonnay, capturing optimal ripeness and vibrancy. Renowned winemaker Jean-Marc Roulot masterfully transforms the often-tart Aligoté grape into a harmonious blend of ripe fruit flavors and mineral-driven complexity.

Tasting Profile:
This wine opens with an intense, aromatic bouquet of orange blossom, white flowers, and broom, leading to a well-balanced palate of wild peach and a subtle hint of passion fruit. Its fine acidity provides a lively structure, while a pithy, waxy texture lingers into a long, refreshing finish. Unlike traditional Aligoté, Roulot’s version is softer and more approachable, thanks to the careful use of 15% new oak barrels, which add depth without overpowering the varietal’s natural character.

Organic & Sustainable:
Grown organically, this wine reflects Domaine Roulot’s commitment to sustainability, ensuring purity in every sip. With an alcohol content of 11.5%, it’s a lighter, more food-friendly option for those seeking elegance without heaviness.

Perfect Occasions:
Ideal for pairing with seafood, light salads, or as an aperitif, this Aligoté shines from 2024 to 2032, offering both immediate enjoyment and aging potential. Whether you’re a Burgundy enthusiast or exploring Aligoté for the first time, this bottle promises a memorable experience.
