Pierre Morey Bourgogne Aligoté

The old, "forgotten", superior quality Aligote Dore clone with its low yields, vineyards planted back to 1957 on the outskirts of the village of Meursault, biodynamic and organic farming and good levels of maturation and concentration bring Pierre Morey's Bourgogne Aligote into the league of excellent expressions of the variety. Vibrant, predictably high acidity, crisp citrus and a reductive, almost austere, minerality give tremendous levels of vibrancy and precision to the wine's expression. For those who can wait it will evolve beautifully, placing more levels of complexity alongside its "nervous" character. But the energy, vitality and rigour so characteristic of Aligote will by no means be lost. A wine made for lovers of acidity and pulsating tensions.
