2017 Bourgogne Aligoté (Maceration)

Hinting at orange in colour but not quite. Very muted on opening, but then opens up relatively quickly. Peaches and almonds, like a friand. Beautiful texture, very dreamy and easy. Relaxing. The acid is not high at all in this vintage. More like low-medium. And you don’t have the chalky tension. It’s more creamy – peaches and cream, gentle acidity that is well balanced, and a nice long finish. Almost canned peach syrupy – but not thick and cloyed or sweet – just right. Reminds me of having cornflakes and canned peaches/apricots for breakfast – but obviously more refined. Really delicious. Great with spicy chicken and dhal!
