Ravaut Aligoté 2023

Aligoté is the the traditional “other” Burgundian grape that represents about 10% of white plantings in the region. Ravaut’s is raised half in old barrels and half in tank, and it’s delicious this year. The scorching hot vintage has added a bit of flesh to the refreshing aligoté energy, and the resulting wine is unusually good. Look for soft fruit and a white flower nose, with brisk freshness and notes of lemon pulp and straw in the mouth. It’s a lovely everyday white Burgundy at a very attractive price.
