The 2021 Jérôme Galeyrand Bourgogne Aligoté Chaumont is a testament to the potential of the often-underestimated Aligoté grape, showcasing Burgundian finesse and mineral precision. Jérôme Galeyrand, known for his organic and biodynamic methods, crafts wines that truly express their terroir with minimal intervention. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy, despite a challenging spring, benefited from a concentrated, fresh autumn. This white wine presents a pale straw yellow colour with greenish reflections, clear and brilliant. On the nose, expect fresh citrus fruits, green apple, white flowers, and subtle herbal notes, all underpinned by mineral hints. The palate is crisp, lively, and refreshing, with vibrant acidity, notes of lemon and grapefruit, saline minerality, and an elegant, dry finish. It is light to medium-bodied with negligible tannin, offering a slightly spicy nose of anise and a zesty finish. 【Elevating the often-underestimated Aligoté grape with Burgundian finesse and mineral precision】. 🍴 Food Pairing: This versatile Aligoté is a classic companion to Burgundian cuisine, pairing beautifully with oysters, seafood, goat's cheese, fish terrine, and Escargots de Bourgogne.
