March 1, 2006 - Still the slightest flashes of green, but this has started to deepen from its straw yellow start. Has a slightly sharp apple and rock and fieldgrass nose that is immediately accessible and doesn’t really evolve over the course of a few days. On the palate, good front-end bite and a little more substance than expected in the mid-palate. Simple apple and taut citrus flavors along with a bit more (good) grassiness on the (shortish) finish. I really like aligoté for its tense and refreshing character. At best (from Lafarge or de Villaine and the like), it can take on a certain roundness and depth without losing its tautness. This wine lacks that roundness and depth, but retains the tautness and is a foursquare effort for a producer from whom I did not expect much. Good enough but not particularly exciting, it did a fine job of standing up to bean noodles in a mildish kimchi and vegetable broth. Won’t buy again, but don’t regret that I’ve got a bottle or two left.
