$64.00
The 2023 Patrick Piuze Bourgogne Aligoté “1953” is a distinctive white wine that showcases the unique characteristics of Burgundy’s Aligoté grape. Sourced from a historic plot planted in 1953 in Saint-Bris, the grapes undergo fermentation and aging in a 50/50 split between barrel and tank. This method imparts impressive saline and mineral notes, complemented by a crisp acidity. The wine’s profile is marked by a subtle smokiness and citrus aromas, leading to a long, flinty, and spicy finish. This cuvée exemplifies Patrick Piuze’s commitment to highlighting the Aligoté grape’s potential, offering a refined and classic expression of Burgundy’s winemaking heritage.
