2020 Domaine Gerard Julien & Fils, Bourgogne Aligote, Les Creusottes

Domaine Gérard Julien & Fils is a fifth-generation family estate based in Comblanchien, where they have been tending vines in the Côte de Nuits since the late 19th century. This wine is made from Aligoté grapes grown in the Les Creusottes vineyard, a site that benefits from the region's classic clay and limestone soils. In the glass, it reveals bright notes of green apple, lemon zest, and a distinct mineral edge, supported by a crisp, energetic texture. The 2020 vintage provided a steady growing season that concentrated the fruit while maintaining the high acidity essential to this variety. It is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a precise and refreshing expression of Burgundy that highlights the estate’s commitment to purity.
