Saturday, October 28, 2023 - First off; wow! I don't think I would have guessed Aligoté if I was served this blind. It really, really resembles the Bourgogne Blanc or his Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 'Au Bout du Monde' in style and oak usage - but this Aligoté costs €30-40 if you get them from the right sources...

Classic PYCM reduction with some flint, struck matchstick and toastiness. Really intense and laser-sharp acidity - maybe what gives it away as Aligoté just a bit over his Chardonnay. Lemon, lime, zest, green apple, insane mineralness and chalkiness while also being light (12% ABV) but having that creaminess and buttery finish while being so acid-driven and energetic.

Inclined to almost up this to 92 points for the sheer QPR-value.
