Domaine Dandelion, Aligoté 2023

Place: Burgundy, France

Grape: Aligote

Vibe: Vibrant

We've finally completed the Dandelion roster. YAY. Aligoté par excellence from Morgane and Christian that's picked from two older parcels. "Vigne de Cret" was planted in the 1940's and despite the age yields well. The soil is rich and soft, and the couple think it used to be a little veg patch. Cute. Goutte d'Or is a steep half-hectare parcel that yields less but produces beautiful yellow, freckled berries. This is the most sought after from Dandelion, and for good reason. The 2023 has been further dialled in due to a lovely 30 month elevage on full lees, before bottling by gravity with no additions. Revitalizing and refreshing this drinks like holy water. Give it some time in the cellar, or decant to see it's full potential. ABV: 12%
