Domaine Fichet Bourgogne Aligoté is a vibrant expression of the Aligoté grape, cultivated in the esteemed Burgundy region. The vineyard, covering one hectare and planted in 1995, thrives on a south-east exposure with clay-limestone soil, contributing to the wine's distinctive character. Harvested by machine, the grapes undergo a gentle, slow pneumatic pressing at low pressure, followed by complete destemming. Vinified in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature fermentation, this Aligoté showcases a crisp, fresh style. With its precise winemaking process, Domaine Fichet Bourgogne Aligoté offers a delightful profile of bright acidity, mineral undertones, and a lively palate, making it a quintessential representation of Burgundy's lesser-known but highly regarded varietal.
