Domaine Sylvain Pataille, The Wine Society's Generation Bourgogne Aligoté, Burgundy, France 2022

Aligoté has long been overlooked and underestimated, seen merely as a poorer alternative to the reigning Chardonnay. Many Burgundy producers have preservedered in championing the grape and - with a little help from climate change - are beginning to see consumer demand fall into pace. Hence the inclusion oif this iteration, produced by Sylvain Pataille in the forth release of The Wine Society's Generation Series. Elegant and poised, its firm acidity carries the fleshy citrus, blanched almonds and green apple flavours. Delicious finish, mineral yet unctuous.
