Others on CT have found oxidized/brused apple flavors and this description seems spot on. I would add pear and ginger, but mostly strong lemon flavors—lemon curd and meyer lemon (i.e. floral) notes. Compared to the Villaine Bouzeron from last week, this just wasn’t as good. The palate is confused (as someone else noted) and the flavors aren’t precise. Not bad, but I can do better for a similar price (Villaine and Lafarge come to mind). Maybe there are better vintages of this wine?

takes a little bit to open and show the exotic florals, slightly oxidized apple, hint of wet stones on the nose, palate is dry, fresh with lots of acidity, medium length

Slight bruised apple character. Quite a simple lemon, touch of peardrop, but not super clean palate. Solid, if not the best rendition of aligoté from this producer. Still a fair price though.
