2024 Bruno Colin - Aligote (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]

Bruno Colin has built his reputation on precise, mineral-driven white Burgundy since taking over part of his family's historic domaine in Chassagne-Montrachet in 2003. While his eight Premier Cru Chassagne-Montrachet bottlings often draw the most attention, his Bourgogne Aligoté offers an accessible entry point into the same meticulous winemaking style. The grapes come from a small plot within the Chassagne-Montrachet commune itself, planted with old Aligoté vines rooted in clay-limestone soil, farmed sustainably with mechanical soil work that respects the vineyard's natural balance.

In the glass, this wine shows a pale yellow color with bright highlights. The nose is straightforward and expressive, offering delicate floral notes over a subtly lemony backdrop. On the palate, Aligoté's naturally high acidity shines through, giving the wine real liveliness and a dynamic, thirst-quenching character. Bright citrus and green pear sit atop a backbone of white stone minerality and a touch of saline lift, with a light roundedness that keeps the wine approachable even in its youth.

Best served chilled between 10 and 12°C, this Aligoté is a natural match for oysters, grilled fish, seafood platters, and fresh goat cheese.
