Domaine Saint Cyr - Alien Blanc Aligote 2022

Aligoté from a single-vineyard parcel of 90 year-old vines. Deep clay soils. Direct press, fermented in neutral 228 and 300L barrels. Élevage in barrel on full lees for 24 months. Unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2. 2000 btls total. 

One of the most surprising and exciting Aligoté made closer to the Rhône than it is to the Côte d'Or, but on the profound clay-limestone soils of Raphäel St-Cyr's native area of Les Pierres Dorées.

"Alien" Aligoté offers a rich and complex profile. Expect aromas of crisp green apple, citrus, and a pronounced minerality. The palate is full-bodied with a creamy texture, showcasing flavors of butter and subtle spices, leading to an incredibly long finish.

This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, soft cheeses, or white fish, making it a versatile choice for various culinary experiences.
