Olivier Leflaive 2009 Aligoté du Domaine (Bourgogne Aligoté)
-
$17
From one of the Leflaive family vineyards close to Puligny-Montrachet, this is as rich as Aligoté can get. Even so, the texture is crisp, with fresh kiwi and herbs, finishing with intense acidity.

Domaine Jayer-Gilles 2006 Aligoté (Bourgogne Aligoté)
-
$28
Yeasty on the nose, with very crisp green acidity and flavors of citrus and grapefruit. A delicious example of the Aligoté grape, it is a light, ready-to-drink wine for oysters or white fish.

Domaine Jayer-Gilles 2007 Aligoté (Bourgogne Aligoté)
-
$25
While it certainly has bright acidity and green fruit flavors, this is quite creamy in texture for an Aligoté, its angles softened and rounded. The finale is fresh, with a more citrus character.
