Domaine Confuron-Gindre - Bourgogne Aligoté 2022
This Bourgogne Aligote has beautiful freshness with citrus aromas.
Domaine Confuron-Gindre was established six generations ago in Vosne-Romanée and is located on Rue de La Tâche. A great sign! Though they don't own the monopole of La Tâche (Domaine Romanée-Conti does), François Confuron-Gindre owns a myriad of ideally located vineyards in Vosne-Romanée and a smattering in Nuits-St-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. The Domaine accounts for 11 hectares, with five village wines, across the aforementioned villages; four Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanée; and the one Grand Cru from Échezeaux. A blessing, considering Vosne-Romanée is the Holy Grail for Pinot Noir lovers. The Domaine has been under the radar for quite some time, but since Edouard, Francois's son, is gradually taking over, the word is now out.
In bottle. All made in tank, old vines below Morey and Vosne. Lovely fresh bouquet, classical rather than modern style. Fresh and even quite elegant in the mouth, though with some muscle beneath and a little leesy quality to fill out the finish. Drink from 2024-2027. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Aligote.
