Description

Product description for Boris Champy Bourgogne Aligoté Doré, Sélection Massale AOP 2022 (bio)

In 2019, Boris Champy took over the domaine, founded by Didier Montchovet in 1984. Champy, who previously managed estates such as Dominus in California, Louis Latour, and Clos de Lambrays, took over the domaine, which had already converted to organic and then biodynamic farming in the 1980s, making it the first Demeter-certified vineyard in Burgundy. The vineyard now comprises twelve hectares in the once cooler Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, which Boris Champy sees as the future of Burgundy due to climate change. This Bourgogne Aligoté comes from two plots, one planted in 1930, the other in 1987. Both plots are located at a good 430 meters above sea level. The grapes were harvested two weeks after all the other grapes to ensure full ripeness and then vinified partly in new wood and partly in used large containers.

Colour

Light straw yellow, bright and clear.

Nose

The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Doré by Boris Champy opens jovially and joyfully with the distinctive minerality of wet stones and citrus zest from the fruit section. The overtones include white blossoms and notes of crisp stone fruit such as green apples, yellow pears, and again wet pebbles, as well as the typical saline notes of oyster shells.

Palate

Despite the warm vintage, the Aligoté Doré is surprisingly disciplined, sinewy and slender on the palate, as well as taut and smooth. It doesn’t seem harsh at all, but delights with elegant elasticity and a subtle saltiness. With a delicate vibration on the palate, it is delicate and firmly woven with high internal density, a filigree appearance, and a silky texture. Citrus freshness in the long, orchestral finish.
