Domaine Jean et Gilles Lafouge Bourgogne Aligoté 2020
Vintage Character
The 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté Blanc from Domaine Jean & Gilles Lafouge is a lively and refreshing example of Burgundy’s renowned alternative white grape. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, sun-filled growing season, leading to wines with ripe fruit and balanced acidity—conditions that particularly favored the Aligoté grape.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This wine displays a pale golden hue and opens with inviting aromas of green apple, white peach, and citrus blossom, complemented by subtle flinty undertones. On the palate, it is crisp and energetic, offering flavors of lemon zest, quince, and a gentle hint of almond, culminating in a clean, mouthwatering finish. Its light, zesty texture makes it a versatile partner at the table; enjoy it with goat cheese crostini, grilled prawns, or Cantonese steamed fish, where its vibrant acidity enhances delicate flavors without overpowering them.
Winery Background
Domaine Jean & Gilles Lafouge is a family-run estate rooted in the village of Auxey-Duresses, with a winemaking heritage dating back to the 17th century. The domaine is celebrated for its commitment to traditional Burgundian viticulture, practicing meticulous vineyard management and minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the unique character of each parcel to shine. Their approach includes gentle pressing and careful aging to preserve purity and expressiveness in every wine. Dedicated to sustainable practices and a deep respect for their terroir, the Lafouge family crafts wines that reflect both the enduring legacy of Burgundy and the distinct qualities of each vintage.
