2022 Louis Jadot Bourgogne Aligote

Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most recognisable names, with a history stretching back to 1859, and while they’re best known for their serious village and cru bottlings, they’ve always had a soft spot for Aligoté. This often-overlooked white grape is a Burgundy staple, loved locally for its freshness and versatility, and Jadot treats it with the same care they give to their more celebrated wines.

The fruit for this 2022 comes from sites spread across the region, picked to highlight Aligoté’s naturally zippy, citrus-driven style. Fermented and matured in stainless steel, it’s all about purity and vibrancy rather than oak or winemaking tricks. The result is a wine that’s crisp and refreshing, with a bit of texture and depth thanks to Jadot’s attention to detail.

It’s the kind of bottle that can easily be poured as an aperitif, paired with seafood or other white meats. Great-value drinking.
