Vintage Character The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté from Sylvain Dussort is a lively showcase of Burgundy’s classic white grape, offering remarkable clarity and freshness in the glass. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy benefited from a warm, sunny season with well-timed rainfall, resulting in wines that combine ripe fruit expression with vibrant acidity—a combination that particularly flatters Aligoté.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers are layered with a subtle mineral nuance, while the palate delivers crisp pear, lemon, and a delicate saline note. The wine’s texture is bright and mouthwatering, finishing with invigorating purity. Its zesty profile makes it a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with goat cheese crostini, grilled shrimp, or lightly spiced Cantonese steamed fish, enhancing a range of dishes without overwhelming subtle flavors.
Winery Background Rooted in Meursault since the late 1800s, the Dussort family estate is now led by Sylvain Dussort, who continues a legacy of attentive vineyard care and respect for terroir. The domaine works primarily with old Aligoté vines planted on classic clay-limestone soils, focusing on low yields and sustainable viticulture to capture the grape’s authentic character and minerality. Sylvain’s approach in the cellar emphasizes minimal intervention: grapes are gently pressed, fermentation is temperature-controlled, and the wine is aged on its lees to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. This dedication to quality and transparency has established Sylvain Dussort as a respected producer of expressive, terroir-driven Aligoté, celebrated for their precision, drinkability, and sense of place.
