Edouard Confuron - Bourgogne Aligoté 2023

This Aligoté has juicy yellow fruit, some fresh plums, good acidity, lovely.

Edouard Confuron hails from the 6 generation family Domaine, Confuron-Gindre, located on Rue de La Tâche. While working with his father, François Confuron-Gindre, he has slowly – and successfully, created his own distinct style of wines now presented through his own micro-domaine. The 2021 vintage is the first formal representation of Edouard's personal range of wines. He handpicks grapes from a selection of his father's plots across Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits St Georges. These are old vines planted on the bottom of the hills, the Aligoté grape variety is revealed on a deep and clay-limestone soil which consequently remains very humid land.

One plot of older vines in Morey. 5 barrels worth have been made in tank, but in 2024 the Aligoté will be in wood. Pale colour with a green streak, lively nose as he kept the lees to give a smoky note though not fully reductive. Ripe enough to have plenty of flesh. Intended to be drunk young. 86-87 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Aligote.
