Clotilde Davenne Bourgogne Aligote

Independent vigneron Clotilde Davenne built her 8.5-hectare domaine in the Yonne, parcel by parcel over the last nine years, while simultaneously working as the chief oenologue for the prestigious Chablis house of Jean-Marc Brocard. Her dream had always been to have her hands on all aspects of the production, and as a grower she is now fully integrated into the life of each of her wines, from bud break to bottle. The results are soulful, expressively vibrant wines that uniquely speak of the particularity of their origin. Many come from extremely old and deep-rooted, low-yielding vines, and viticulture is practiced with great respect for the environment and no filtration is used prior to bottling.Clotilde's Bourgogne Aligote is made from 100% Aligote grown in the Portlandian limestone soils around Saint-Bris. The wine is a light lemon color with green highlights, and quite aromatic, with notes of orchard fruits and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is racy, long and mineral with a firm spine of acidity and refreshing, light body. Enjoy as a refreshing and energizing aperitif or with baked hake and vegetables.
