Domaine Arlaud, Bourgogne Aligote 2021 (6 x 75cl)
Domaine Arlaud, a venerable name in Burgundy, has forged a reputation for crafting wines that exemplify the terroir of their region. Established in 1942, the domaine has steadily gained prominence, especially under the stewardship of the Arlaud family, renowned for their commitment to biodynamic practices and meticulous vineyard management.
The Bourgogne Aligoté 2021 showcases the unique character of the Aligoté grape, often overshadowed by its more famous Pinot Noir and Chardonnay counterparts. This vintage is marked by fresh acidity and vibrant citrus notes, making it an outstanding representation of the varietal. The wine displays a delightful balance, offering complexity that belies its humble classification.
In terms of investability, the 2021 vintage benefits from a growing appreciation for lesser-known varieties and the increasing demand for high-quality Burgundy. While traditionally considered an 'entry-level' wine, this Bourgogne Aligoté possesses the pedigree and craftsmanship that could see it appreciated by collectors and investors alike.
