Domaine de Cassiopée - Bourgogne Aligote "Mitancherie" 2022

This Mitancherie is a piercing and broad Aligote.

Brand new estate in the heart of Sampigny-les-Maranges in 2020, Domaine de Cassiopée is run by Talloulah and Hugo Mathurin who are working hard to make a mark on this under the radar appellation. Domaine de Cassiopée sits on the eastern end within close proximity to the premier cru vineyards.

25 year old vines high up in Sampigny. The wine was raised in old wood and 10% in earthenware, neither fined nor filtered, with just a touch of sulphur added at the bottling. Pale lemon, with a fairly ‘natural’ nose, some reduction though more like grilled sesame says Talloulah. Piercing white fruit, much broader than many an Aligoté, medium length. Drink from 2024-2026. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Aligote.

What we say

"An exciting new addition to the Burgundy winemaking scene!"

Technical notes

Whites are pressed without crushing and barrelled down without much settling. This wine is matured in barrel (few of which are new) or concrete egg, depending on the cuvée.
