Edouard Confuron - Bourgogne Aligoté 2024
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.
Mid lemon in colour, with a ripe pear fruit on the nose. First year made in barrel, which may also explain the extra flesh. A little citrus wash to finish. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Nov 2025. 86-87 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Aligote.
