Domaine Yvon Clerget - Bourgogne Aligote 2023
Thibaud Clerget took over the family Domaine in 2015, one of the oldest family owned Domaine in the village. Thibaud initiates the rebirth of one of Volnay’s little treasure of a Domaine. Only 6 hectares of vineyards located within the best climats* of Burgundy.
Pressed straight to barrel without settling, then after 13 months in barrel (one new, one older), the Aligoté En Coulezain has recently been racked to tank. Mid yellow. Evidently oaky on the nose, impressive tension, this will all calm down, good intensity behind ripe fruit, with lemon skins to finish. Drink from 2026-2028. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
