The 2024 Burgundy vintage, particularly for whites and Aligoté, is shaping up to be a compelling one for collectors who appreciate tension, definition, and longevity. After an early summer of scarcity, conditions stabilised from August with cool nights and warm, dry days, leading to harvests between mid to late September. The white wines from this vintage are described as taut, mineral, and saline, with good acidity and alcohol levels typically between 12-13%. Coche-Dury's Bourgogne Aligoté is renowned for its refined character, often presenting a lightly smoky nose with hints of nuttiness, good acidity, and notes of apple and minerals. Expect a palate that is clean and pure, showcasing citrus, mineral, and sometimes subtle buttery or oaky nuances. This Aligoté stands out for its structure and tactile minerality, making it a sophisticated expression of the grape. Food pairing suggestions include meaty and oily fish, a variety of shellfish and seafood (from raw oysters to grilled salmon), charcuterie boards, or even a turkey sandwich with goat cheese and apricot jam. This versatile white is perfect for casual gatherings, seafood dinners, or as an elegant aperitif. 【Refined and structured Aligoté from a revered producer】
