ABOUT THIS WINE
The Bourgogne Aligoté by Marquis De Jouennes is a classic expression of Burgundy's traditional Aligoté grape. Produced in the esteemed region of Bourgogne, France, this wine proudly carries the Appellation D'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) designation, ensuring its authenticity and adherence to regional winemaking standards. While Chardonnay often takes the spotlight in Burgundy, Aligoté offers a distinctive, vivacious alternative, celebrated for its refreshing and gastronomic qualities. The Marquis De Jouennes focuses on a vinification style that highlights the grape's inherent freshness and fruit-forward character, making it a quintessential example of this often-underestimated Burgundian varietal. The 2024 vintage, though still emerging, promises to deliver the crisp, pure profile expected from a well-crafted Bourgogne Aligoté.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking philosophy for Marquis De Jouennes' Bourgogne Aligoté centers on preserving the purity and vibrant fruit expression of the Aligoté grape. Sourced from regional appellations within Burgundy, often from clay-limestone soils, the grapes are carefully handled to maintain their delicate characteristics. The vinification process generally avoids the use of wood, ensuring that the wine's natural crispness and bright acidity are the dominant features. This approach allows the intrinsic qualities of the Aligoté grape to shine through, resulting in a clean, refreshing, and unadulterated white wine.
