Staff Pick Notes

Aligoté is still one of the great unsung grapes of the Hexagon. Vaudoisey-Creusefond's bottling is a wine meant for early drinking and it's extremely appetizing. Once ubiquitous in Burgundy, phylloxera was a death knell to this variety. Sourced from the climat of Les Blanches, the youngest of the vines were planted in the 1970s. Aged on the lees, and rested in barrel for 12 months, this wine strikes a beautiful balance between unctuousness and racy acidity. Lemons, almond, and light white flowers, it's classic white Burgundy in a different light.

Glossary

Burgundy

The range of wine styles offered in Burgundy rivals that of any other region.

Fans of rich, unctuous, and well-oaked Chardonnay will enjoy Chassagne-Montrachet, whose age-worthy offerings offer all the fatness of a California wine, yet retain a very Burgundian, mineral-driven core and great acidity....

Aligoté

The "other" white grape of Burgundy, Aligoté plays a struggling second fiddle to the regal white grape of the region, Chardonnay. Older Aligoté vines have been known to produce wines of high quality, displaying lovely citrusy and at times nutty characteristics - but even so, the remaining plantings of the grape are fast being uprooted to make even more space for the cultivation of Chardonnay.
