Tasting Notes

A wine steeped in history with the family winemaking roots dating back to the 1870s. Now the Cornu estate comprises 15ha mostly dedicated to the classic white grapes of Burgundy (aka heaven). This Aligote comes from a minuscule esteemed plot. Refined, youthful and exuberant, it’s laced with apricot and lemon, and a hint of meringue.

Vine Age: 30 years

Winemaking: The Aligote is crushed and pressed and sent to stainless steel for fermentation and then aged on its lees for 9 months before bottling.
