Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 - Domaine Sylvain Pataille

Wine Domaine Sylvain Pataille - The 2023 Burgundy Aligoté from Domaine Sylvain Pataille reveals a demanding take on this often-underestimated grape variety, crafted here with the same rigour as the estate’s more prestigious cuvées. Sourced from meticulously tended plots, it offers a precise and taut expression of the terroir, where the purity of the fruit and a sensation of freshness take precedence. The nose is lively and bright, driven by crisp citrus, notes of green apple and a subtle floral touch, with an almost chalky minerality. On the palate, the energy is immediate, straightforward and perfectly defined, supported by a lively acidity that provides rhythm without ever making the wine harsh. The finish is mouth-watering, clean and persistent, leaving a sensation of clarity and elegant tension. A precise and vibrant Aligoté, which far exceeds its status to offer a true wine of character and pleasure.
