Domaine d'Auvenay Bourgogne Aligote 2019

Crafted in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France, Domaine d'Auvenay Bourgogne Aligoté 2019 is an extraordinary, globally coveted white Burgundy produced by legendary winemaking icon Lalou Bize-Leroy. As Madame Bize-Leroy’s personal private estate, Domaine d'Auvenay is operated under strict biodynamic principles with micro-yields and an uncompromising commitment to quality, rendering its wines among the rarest, most prized, and valuable in world viticulture. Made from old-vine Aligoté planted in exceptionally limestone-rich plots, this bottling utterly redefines the perception of the grape variety. Farmed biodynamically and hand-harvested with painstaking berry-by-berry sorting, the fruit undergoes gentle pneumatic pressing and spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine matures extensively in fine French oak barrels without fining or filtration, yielding an Aligoté of unprecedented power, electrifying acidity, and immense ageability.

Food Pairing: Serve on its own as a rare, once-in-a-lifetime tasting experience, or pair with pan-seared sea scallops, butter-poached lobster, roasted Bresse chicken with tarragon, or aged Comté cheese.
