The 2015 Bourgogne Aligoté from Domaine d'Auvenay reveals immense potential, wafting from the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest and a light framing of noble reduction. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, tense and textural, with huge concentration and a lingering, intensely stony finish. Bize-Leroy observes that its pH is extremely low, adding that in Burgundy, "cépage doesn't matter, it's the terroir that counts." I suspect serving this wine blind in ten years time will support that contention.
