In the realm of white wines that combine clarity of expression with airy freshness, the Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 - Bruno Colin - Bourgogne Aligoté AOC stands out as a work of great balance. Born in Chassagne-Montrachet, where chalk and clay have met for centuries, it offers an inspired tribute to Aligoté, a grape of character and tension. The terroir’s imprint, honest and unadorned, guides a precise, finely chiselled interpretation that favours fruit brightness and a straight, focused palate. Under Bruno Colin’s expert hand, the vine speaks with restraint and measure, and the wine finds its balance through stainless-steel ageing designed to preserve the obviousness of the aromas. The result evokes a clear morning—one breathes deeply and light reveals every detail. This Aligoté delivers a clean tasting centred on active freshness, ideal for shared moments and for table pairings of understated distinction.

Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Aligoté in vintage 2022, this wine comes from a 0,23 hectare parcel in Chassagne-Montrachet, on a characteristic argilo-calcaire soil that lends tension and relief. The vines planted in 1988 are farmed with viticulture raisonnée, using mechanical soil work, with attention to the soil’s microbial life and aeration. Hand harvesting ensures careful berry selection and preservation of integrity. To retain the fruit’s native purity, ageing takes place in stainless-steel tanks for 10 to 18 months, a choice that highlights a clear reading of varietal character and terroir. This deliberately pure approach enhances freshness, precision and aromatic clarity, without oaky masking, delivering a wine with a straight silhouette, full of drive and energy.
