100% Aligoté. The de Moors have a 2.5-hectare parcel of mainly Aligoté down the road from Courgis in a village called Chitry-Le-Fort. They planted the parcel, named Champagne, starting in 1995 (it also includes some Chardonnay that goes into their Bourgogne Chitry bottling). The exposure is northwest and the soils are 25-30 centimeters of clay over hard limestone rock. The farming is certified-organic and the harvest by hand. The fruit is destemmed, gently pressed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and without sulfur in tank. The wine goes through malo and is aged on its lees without bâtonnage or racking in mainly enamel-lined steel tanks for close to a year. Bottling is generally without fining or filtering in the fall following the vintage; it is the only time a touch of sulfur is added to the wine.
Vinous Media: 90 Points
The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté, from vines planted between 1995 and 2000, was vinified in vat with 11 months on the lees. It shows a sprightly bouquet, well defined with a touch of blackcurrant leaf infusing the citrus fruit. A hint of apricot and quince develop with aeration. The palate is crisp and taut, with a killer line of acidity. Very saline with a strict and satisfying finish.
