DESCRIPTION TO LOOK LIKE AN EXPERT:
This wine is a well balanced, gassy and aromatic 100 % Aligotè. Was harvested a little later than usual to reach optimal ripeness and was pressed in old barrels on full lees and bottled during fermentation so that some of the acidity lost with late harvesting was replaced with gas.
BEST MATCH: With its palate-cleansing acidity, Aligoté goes wonderfully with fish dishes and soupes.
