Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Aligote 2018
Leroux has considerable pedigree with this variety as followers of Domaine
Comte Armand will know. This year's wine is from two sources: 90- to
100-year-old, goblet-pruned Aligoté vines from La Fortune in Bouzeron (Côte
Chalonnaise) and a parcel of 50-year-old Estate-grown fruit in Meursault's Les
Belle Roses. Both vineyards are home to Aligoté Doré, the high-quality,
low-yielding cultivar of this variety with skin that takes on an ochre hue when
fully ripe. The 2018 was naturally fermented in tank and the aging was split
between seasoned 12-hectolitre ovals and ten-year-old Burgundy
barriques.
