2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, Bourgogne Aligote

Domaine Marquis d’Angerville’s approach to their Bourgogne Aligoté centers on a commitment to biodynamic viticulture and a minimalist, non-interventionist philosophy in the cellar that prioritizes the unadorned expression of site. The grapes are sourced from a singular, low-lying parcel in the eastern sector of Volnay, characterized by deep, clay-heavy soils that contrast with the domaine’s more calcareous, high-slope premier cru holdings. The 2022 growing season, marked by a warm and dry summer, provided physiological ripeness while the vines’ inherent resilience ensured the retention of the grape’s signature structural nerve. The resulting wine is defined by its taut, bright acidity, which serves as a firm backbone, anchoring the mid-palate density and providing a focused, energetic finish typical of the varietal when managed with this level of precision.
