  Wow. What a perfect start to summer on a sunny, pretty 82 degree day in Seattle in May.
  
  Lemon, seashell and salt. Shockingly vibrant, electric energy. Long, mouthwatering, so mineral, so citric. Really popping. Crazy, crazy wine at $40.

  Soooo good. If you can picture sucking on a river stone that’s been dipped in the ocean, drenched with zesty lemon juice and then sprinkled with orchard fruits, then you’ve got a good idea of this beauty’s flavour profile. The acidity is punchy and focused but the wine has a brilliant lithe texture that provides absolutely no sharp edges. Killer juice. OK, so it’s not the most complex white burg, but it’s a seriously gluggable drink.

  Time to check back in with this and it’s still a beauty. It hasn’t moved much since my last bottle - zingy citrus fruit with lots of rocks and salty minerals. Tight focus and drive with some lovely textural elements that softens the acidity. Brilliant.

  First off; wow! I don't think I would have guessed Aligoté if I was served this blind. It really, really resembles the Bourgogne Blanc or his Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 'Au Bout du Monde' in style and oak usage - but this Aligoté costs €30-40 if you get them from the right sources...
  
  Classic PYCM reduction with some flint, struck matchstick and toastiness. Really intense and laser-sharp acidity - maybe what gives it away as Aligoté just a bit over his Chardonnay. Lemon, lime, zest, green apple, insane mineralness and chalkiness while also being light (12% ABV) but having that creaminess and buttery finish while being so acid-driven and energetic.
  
  Inclined to almost up this to 92 points for the sheer QPR-value.
