Bourgogne Aligoté 2020 Domaine Coche-Dury
The Bourgogne Aligoté from the renowned Domaine Coche-Dury is a true gem of French winemaking. Under the expert guidance of Jean-François Coche-Dury, the vineyard spans 10.5 hectares, with 8.5 devoted to white grape varieties. This wine, produced solely from Aligoté, reflects the dedication to quality and tradition that characterizes this esteemed estate.
Aligoté represents 6% of the vines at Domaine Coche-Dury, with the remaining 94% dedicated to Chardonnay. This specific distribution reflects a preference for the main grape variety, but also the attention given to exploring and valorizing the potential of less common varieties. The terroir, characterized by limestone and clay soils, contributes to giving the wine a unique elegance and complexity.
Winemaking at Domaine Coche-Dury is synonymous with minimalism and respect for the nature of the terroir and grapes. Crushing is delicate, avoiding excessive extraction that could alter the wine's profile. During aging in oak barrels, of which 50% are new, regular bâtonnage is carried out, a practice that brings about controlled oxidation and contributes to the wine's aromatic complexity.
The Bourgogne Aligoté from Coche-Dury captivates the senses with its purity and finesse. Delicate scents of vineyard flowers and toasted hazelnuts open on the nose, leading to a fresh and sophisticated palate. Its extraordinary finesse and persistence make it an ideal companion for refined dishes such as puff pastry-crusted sea bass, jambon persillé, or goat cheeses.
This rare Aligoté shines brightest when served at a temperature of 12°C, allowing its complexity and elegance to be fully appreciated. It pairs perfectly with seafood or white meats, but also stands beautifully on its own, enjoyed in a moment of relaxation and contemplation.
