Antoine Reniaume Les Corcelles Bouzeron Aligote

Antoine Reniaume’s Les Corcelles Bouzeron Aligoté is a standout expression of Burgundy’s often-overlooked white grape, showcasing the precision and purity that define the Bouzeron appellation. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards, this Aligoté is crisp, mineral-driven, and full of character.  Opening with aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white flowers, it is underpinned by a saline edge that hints at its limestone-rich terroir.  Lively and focused on the palate, with mouthwatering acidity and a clean, textured finish that lingers with notes of lemon peel and crushed stone.  While Aligote has an undeserved reputation as a simple table wine, Renaiume’s Les Corcelles Bouzeron is far from it, reflecting a thoughtful winemaking approach that elevates Aligoté to a place of finesse and elegance. It’s an excellent match for oysters, goat cheese, or light vegetable dishes, and a refreshing alternative to Chardonnay for those seeking something a bit more vibrant and linear.

Tasting Notes:  Fragrances of lime, candied lemon, honeysuckle and crushed fresh hazelnuts form a real aromatic bouquet. The attack is defined by its freshness, its
boldness of fruit where the white peach dominates, chiselled by a small hint
of noble tartness brought by the aligoté. It continues on a beautiful length
where some toasted notes accompany it elegantly. Do not hesitate to carafe
it or to air it for even more harmony.
