2018, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, BOURGOGNE Aligoté
$34
Aligoté is becoming very popular and in a ripe vintage like 2018 it is a little rounder than usual, but still with a crisp edge. Great value. Delicious drop says Jo!
Clear bright green-gold. Intense fruit on the nose with crushed stone, lemon/lime and a brazil-nut-like creaminess. Juicy mid-palate for Aligoté (ripeness) that is very clean, fresh and finely concentrated. Dry and satisfying with a crisp finish that pulls up quickly - just to remind you that it's not Chardonnay! **** JK
