April 2, 2023 - Blind. Rich and lemony on the back end, not bad. 89-90
December 19, 2020 - Served in a JRxRB Universal. 1030 hPa / Flower
Pale straw yellow. Nose is fairly mute, but has some yellow flowers, chamomile, a light touch of oak, some crimini mushroom, a touch of iodine. Palate has some Asian pear, lemon/lime, a touch of honey, some clay/limestone minerality, and just a hint of oak. Mouthwatering acid with a very slight touch of VA, balanced by a slightly waxy texture. Lingering umami/iodine on the finish. A fairly mute showing of a wine I’ve had great success with in the past.
March 25, 2020 - Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of light lemon colour with wide watery rim and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of green fruit of green apple, citrus fruit of lemon, stone fruit of peach, floral notes of blossom, mineral notes of stony, herbaceous notes of straw, maturity notes of hay. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium alcohol and medium (-) body, with medium (+) intensity flavors of green fruit of green apple, citrus fruit of lemon, mineral notes of stony, herbaceous notes of straw, floral notes of blossom. The wine has a long length on the finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Bourgogne Aligote with a reasonably intense nose showing decent complexity of green and citrus fruit, with some grassy notes and minerality, the wine has good acidity, refreshing and crisp, showing good concentration on the palate and a very long finish. It is ready to drink now and not meant for further ageing.
February 11, 2019 - Aligoté de Boisson 2014, toujours aussi élégant, élevage ressenti mais poli, bouche soignée, matière et tension pour une finale salivante.

July 15, 2018 - Savory without being to sweet or thick. Nice color and has a tad of oak but not much.
May 16, 2018 - Nice aligote that is drinking well at present. Maybe a bit of reduction, otherwise all fruit, minerality and salinity. Tasty.
June 29, 2017 - Lemon, white flowers, slight herbaceous notes - bamboo? medium+ acidity, crisp, medium- body but with such lingering mineral and floral notes, and a medium- citrus finish.
January 25, 2017 - Goûté pour la 1ère fois à l'aveugle, impossible de partir sur un simple aligoté. C'est diablement bon, légèrement élevé avec une finale gourmande !
December 10, 2016 - Toujours superbe, complexe, un peu réduit avec des petites notes d'allumette, irrésistible
