Domaine Joseph Colin - Bourgogne Aligoté 2023

This Aligoté is alluring and focused, with notes of green apple, peach pit, salted preserve lemon, raw hazelnuts and whit mushroom. 

Joseph Colin initially trained at Domaine Marc Colin, working alongside his brother, Pierre-Yves, to make the family wines. In 2016, Joseph decided to create his own Domaine, and, subsequently, inherited just over six hectares of vineyards from his family holding, representing about nineteen different appellations, to start his exciting new venture. This Bourgogne is a blend of seven parcels from cooler sections of Joseph’s vineyards.

Bottled in August. Faint green streak in the pale colour. A light pineapple note on the nose. Perfumed. Then much more tension with a lime note to finish. Drink from 2025-2027. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.

100% Aligoté.

Technical notes

Only healthy grapes make it to the press; the wines are also handled as little as possible, therefore there is no bâttonage, filtration or fining and no sulphur is used during the winemaking process until racking where minimal amounts are used. Fermentation and maceration is processed in 350-litre oak barrels for 12 months, before three months in stainless before bottling.
