We have cultivated our Burgundy Aligoté vineyards as tenant farmers since 1992. They cover an area of 1.5 hectares. The first was planted in 1929 and the second in 1948 by Joseph Boillot, François Mikulski’s grandfather.
Their vines are 100% Aligoté. They are cultivated using non-certified organic methods.
Annual production: around 9,000 bottles.
The subsoil consists of fine alluvial river sediment, which is common on the lower part of the slope.
The extraction is limited, and the wine is aged in tanks on lees. It is bottled in July to preserve the fruit.
This wine is ideally served chilled, as an aperitif or with seafood or terrine.
It should be drunk within a year if fruit aromas are preferred, but it can be stored for longer.
Brilliant robe, the colour of bright lime juice. Fresh nose; lime and eucalyptus leaves; celery leaves; Granny Smith apples; fine herbs, similar to chervil and dill; an acacia thicket in spring; the delicate sweetness that comes from the exceptional maturity of the vintage, evoking berlingot sweets, tangy or aniseed-flavoured sweets and traces of lavender or even basil; a charming and bucolic sensuality. Very ripe palate, as expected; fleshy and generous body; Passe Crassane pear and Granny Smith apple, yellow and green plums, clementine jelly with a touch of lime; a discreet note of cucumber and celery, a hint of orange juice; a few sprigs of coriander that bring even more freshness. A harmonious finish with a lot of length and the remarkable persistence of the fruit; nourishing and satisfying; for drinking immediately or laying down; if you drink it now, pair with a warm or cold fish terrine, flat-leaf parsley and coriander, small spring vegetables, spring rolls or cold hake in mayonnaise; if you lay it down for three or four years, pair with cod, plaice or saithe papillotes, and warm creamy potato puree with herbs or celery puree.
