My last bottle of this vintage, and I'm bumping my score up a point. High palate cleansing acidity, with lemon (almost like a sour patch gummy) and floral notes on the nose and palate. I had this with my wine group and we all enjoyed it to varying degrees.

My first bottle of Aligote from this producer and I really liked it. High acidity, with lemon and floral notes on the nose and palate. I should note that if rated on the nose alone, I'd give it a 93, so really the taste was not as good as the nose led me to expect. Still a really nice "start the evening" wine. It also went well with some chilled sugar snap pea and mint soup. The only thing really keeping it from a higher score, was some bitter notes when we got about halfway through the bottle.

Clean fresh sea air aromas. Palate is acid driven with a nice lemon curd cut to the fruit. Very well made and quite integrated and balanced for a relatively simpler grape. Planted in 1986 and 1/2 acre. Only white wine made by Bachelet. Quite nice and refreshing.

Lemon curd and deliciousness all mixed together. Don't know why this bottling from Bachelet doesn't get much attention but it's consistently great.

Ganske beskjeden nese med umoden sitron etc. Fyldig vin med høy syre! God kons og balanse. Vibrerende vin med god lengde.
