2023 Paul Pillot, Bourgogne Aligote

Domaine Paul Pillot, a revered Puligny-Montrachet estate, extends its rigorous viticultural and winemaking philosophy to this Bourgogne Aligoté, demonstrating a profound commitment to the varietal's potential beyond its secondary status. Sourced from the broader Bourgogne Aligoté appellation, the wine is a direct reflection of Pernot's precise vineyard management. The 2023 growing season in Burgundy, marked by steady warmth and an absence of extreme heat spikes, allowed for excellent physiological ripeness while preserving vital acidity. This resulted in an Aligoté with a firm spine of citrus-tinged tartaric acid, underpinning a structural profile of remarkable freshness and balance. The wine delivers notable textural density and inherent vivacity, showcasing the varietal's architectural possibilities within a generous white wine vintage.
