ABOUT THIS WINE
The Bourgogne Aligoté Domaine Chevrot is a 100% Aligoté white wine from Burgundy, France, specifically the Côte de Beaune. It is produced by Domaine Chevrot et Fils, a family estate with a history dating back to 1798, now managed by brothers Pablo and Vincent Chevrot. The wine's name, 'Cuvée des Quatre Terroirs,' signifies its origin from four different vineyard sites. Domaine Chevrot et Fils is a founding member of 'Les Aligoteurs,' an association dedicated to promoting the Aligoté grape. The estate practices organic and biodynamic farming, with some vineyard work, including for Aligoté, performed using horse-drawn plows. The 2022 vintage benefited from a warm and dry growing season in Burgundy.
