Robert Rolls Burgundy lunch 2023 (St John): Fresh, clean, rather simple. Food-friendly and very drinkable - it's a blank canvas, really - but lacked the expected piercing/exciting acidity.

I can't attest to the other review of this vintage as the bottle I just had was textbook Aligoté; piercing acidity, pear, apple, grapefruit. A really great bottle and was singing the high notes after just a couple of hours. Perhaps the best value $40 white I've had in some time.
Disappointing when a top class producer falls on their face. I always get excited about these low end wines from the greats, as you expect a deft wine-making touch and the ultimate drinkability. Here it is nowhere to be found. How did they get it so wrong?
Catheter somehow found a combination of all of aligote's worst traits. Seems as if the man hasn't cleaned his pipes in quite some time. reminds me of a gas station California chardonnay. yucky, god help you all

One of the better examples of aligote I have tasted. Went well with food. Big fan of the 2020 vintage

Hard B- from the Catheter
