Description
This Aligote has great freshness as is consistent with all of Domaine Gueguen wines, and has appealing floral notes on the nose. The palate comes alive with lemon sherbert and green apple. A delicious easy drinker using Burgundy’s ‘other’ white grape.
Aligoté is garnishing more attention these days. As a variety, it tends to have notably crisp acidity, even more than Chardonnay
Located in the small village of Prehy, just a few kilometres away from Chablis, Domaine Gueguen is regarded as an emerging star of the region, with passion and respect for the tradition and fragility of the terroir it sits on.
Domaine Gueguen was only created in 2013 but making Chablis has long been part of the family. Céline Gueguen-Brocard is the daughter of the renowned Jean-Marc Brocard. They prefer the freshness of Chablis fruit, so never use oak barrels for ageing. Their wines’ frankness, friendliness and purity really spoke to us upon first tasting.
