Excellent textures, a true Burgundy with a restrained yet restrained character and a smoky side that goes perfectly with the exuberant fruit reminiscent of ripe pineapple and apple caramelized in butter. Very good concentration, absolute precision and balance, displaying an aggressive mineral dimension that refreshes the full-bodied fruit on the palate....
The work of Pierre de Benoist, nephew of Aubert de Villaine, with Aligote is truly captivating and a benchmark for the grape. Bouzeron is the only village in Burgundy that preserves the appellation of origin and its best limestone slopes exclusively for this variety. Domaine de Villaine's Aligote receives the same care as the estate's finest Chardonnays....

It is a blend of different regions of the appellation of origin on different soils, each adding multiple layers to the wine. Precision of expression and tensions, with fruit and...
