Aligote Dore. Honey, peach, and apple dominate the palate with just a hint of raison. Not a lot of citrus. Not a lot of depth, but very pleasant and enjoyable. Solid match with zucchini and pesto salad and, I imagine, other vegetarian dishes. Decent match with fish.
Better on the colder side of the spectrum (I like Burgundy Chardonnay at a warmer temperature). A short decant was helpful.

One of the more unique aligote I have had, nose had some subtle minerals, citrus and golden apple, quite similar on the attack, but then there was this intense floral, perfume note almost reminiscent of hairspray that was hard to get past

Thursday Cellar Visits in Burgundy - Lafarge, Lamarche, Château De La Tour and Dublère (Cote d'Or): Barrel tasting at the domaine. Green apple with some lemon, seemingly ripe for Aligote from beginning to end. Good length as well. VG for its level.
