Jolie-Laide Aligoté 2025

A luminous pale straw hue introduces this Aligoté, offering an inviting bouquet of white blossom, green apple, and a hint of wet stone minerality. On the palate, it is a study in precision and elegance, with a vibrant acidity that frames flavors of lemon zest and underripe pear. The mid-palate reveals a subtle creaminess, likely from lees contact, which adds depth without overshadowing its inherent freshness. The finish is clean and persistent, with a whisper of saline minerality. This wine exemplifies the varietal's potential outside its Burgundian roots, offering a compelling alternative for those seeking crisp, mineral-driven whites.
