Grapes: 100% Aligoté
Jean-Marc Roulot is one of the most celebrated winemakers in Meursault, producing some of Burgundy's most sought-after white wines. While his Chardonnays attract most of the attention, his Bourgogne Aligoté offers a rather different perspective on the domaine's talents. It's a wonderful reminder that in the right hands, Burgundy's often-overlooked second white grape can be every bit as interesting as its more famous neighbour.
Aligoté is naturally high in acidity, making it particularly well suited to wines that prize freshness and precision. The 2024 vintage, marked by a cooler growing season, plays to those strengths. Roulot's thoughtful approach brings texture and subtle complexity to the grape's naturally lively character, creating a wine with considerably more personality than your average Aligoté.
Fresh lemon, green apple and white flowers lead the way, followed by a hint of almond and a delicate chalky note. The palate is crisp and energetic, with a subtle richness that softens the wine's vibrant acidity. A refreshing, gently saline finish makes this particularly appealing at the table. Fabulous with oysters, grilled fish, goat cheese or a simple plate of seafood. A terrific opportunity to experience the Roulot touch without venturing into Grand Cru prices!
