Why You'll Love It
Made from vines over 50 years old, this Aligoté has far more depth than most. Don't be fooled into thinking this is "Chardonnay-lite". There is just as much layered complexity and class here as top Bourgogne Blanc, but at a fraction of the price.

Crisp lemon, green apple and pear lead the charge, followed by delicate white flowers and a lovely saline, stony finish that's unmistakably Burgundian. A short spell in old oak adds some weight and roundness, adding to the luxurious charm of this wine.

It's a brilliant alternative to Chardonnay of course, especially if you enjoy lean, mineral whites with plenty of energy. Try it with oysters, grilled fish, or crab. If you have friends who are Burgundy nutters, pour them this blind and sit back and revel in your own smugness.
About The Producer
Domaine Rémi Jeanniard is a small family estate based in Morey-Saint-Denis, at the heart of Burgundy's prestigious Côte de Nuits. Although the domaine was established under Rémi Jeanniard in 2004, the family's vineyards have been passed down through generations, including exceptional old-vine parcels in Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin. Farming is carried out with great respect for the land, with no insecticides used for many years and vineyard work often following the lunar calendar. Production is tiny, meticulous and focused on expressing each vineyard with honesty and precision.
Winemaking Information
This Vieilles Vignes bottling comes from Aligoté vines planted in the 1950s around Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard before gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel. Rather than bottling immediately, the wine spends around nine to ten months ageing on its lees in older French oak barrels, adding texture and depth without obvious oak flavour. The result is an Aligoté that retains its vibrant acidity while gaining an impressive level of complexity.
