Domaine Petit-Roy Bourgogne Aligote 2018 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Petit-Roy Bourgogne Aligote 2018 AOC 0.75l is a wine born in the heart of Burgundy, where the clay slopes and continental climate imbue Aligoté with a luminosity and precision that distinguish it from more common expressions of this variety. The label reflects a small but meticulously managed winery, the fruit of a family tradition rooted in a land that prioritizes biodiversity, minimal intervention, and meticulous cellar management. The history of Domaine Petit-Roy is one of patient choices: revitalization of old vines, environmentally friendly practices, and a short supply chain that preserves the freshness and identity of the terroir. The winery presents itself not as a simple winemaker but as the embodiment of a philosophy: working patiently, following the seasons, and restoring the wine to its place-specific essence. Compared to other producers, Domaine Petit-Roy favors pure fruit and a vibrant minerality that emerges from the first sips: a luminous Aligoté, with an acidity reshaped by the brief contact with the fine lees, lending it complexity without weighing it down. The Bourgogne Aligote 2018 AOC 0.75l stands out for its identity, balanced between lightness and substance: a delicate nose reminiscent of ripe citrus fruits, lemon zest, a slightly buttery note, and a hint of flint that underscores its provenance from south-facing, meticulously cultivated vineyards. On the palate, the wine unfolds narratively: a subtle, lively carbonation supports a fragrant texture, a clear flavor profile, and a clean finish that invites you to return to the glass. The wine is part of a portfolio where Domaine Petit-Roy offers interpretations that reflect the character of the soil and climate, offering wine enthusiasts a distinct choice for refined aperitifs, pairings with fish or delicate white meats, or as a base for a vertical tasting of vintages. For those seeking an authoritative entry into the world of Burgundy white wines, the 2018 Aligoté de Bourgogne stands out for its clean execution and elegant sobriety, offering a reliable companion for those who appreciate understated refinement, in line with the STELT positioning.
