Jérôme Galeyrand Bourgogne Aligote Chaumont '22

The 2022 Jérôme Galeyrand Bourgogne Aligoté 'Chaumont' comes from 60-year-old vines planted on white marl soils in the Côte Chalonnaise, between Mercurey and Givry. This organic (not certified) wine is made with no added SO2 during vinification and aging. The grapes are crushed and pressed in a vertical wood press, fermented with ambient yeasts, and aged for 12 months in barrels (20% new) followed by 2 months in tank. The wine is bottled without fining and lightly filtered, with 50-55 ppm of SO2 added before bottling. It showcases Aligoté's crisp acidity, vibrant citrus flavors, and subtle floral and mineral notes. This refreshing wine is perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, salads, and light dishes.
