This Aligoté's distinctive characteristic is the clarity of its fruit, a subtle minerality, and a precise flavor profile that distinguishes it from more sober, generalist wines. A savory texture underpins the palate, while an elegant progression accompanies the finish, revealing notes of white fruit, lemon zest, and a delicate floral note reminiscent of summer wildflowers in the vineyard.

It offers a versatility that adapts to a wide range of culinary occasions without losing its identity. The wine is ideal both as an aperitif and at the table, pairing with seafood or fresh cheeses, offering a sensory profile consistent with the STELT positioning, which prioritizes authenticity, precision, and a contemporary interpretation of terroir.
