Domaine Anne Boisson - Bourgogne Aligoté 2023
Domaine Anne Boisson is a discreet and unanimously respected address in Meursault, known for the extreme precision and sincerity of its wines. Heir to the work of Bernard Boisson, Anne Boisson runs the estate with rare demands, favoring purity of expression, tension, and transparency of the terroirs. The Bourgogne Aligoté comes from parcels located around Meursault, on limestone and clay-limestone soils perfectly suited to this grape variety when worked with low yields and a rigorous approach. Here, Aligoté is never considered a secondary wine, but a true cuvée of character, vinified with the same care as the communal appellations. This cuvée is now recognized as one of the greatest Aligotés produced in Burgundy, and even beyond. The 2023 vintage confirms this exceptional status.
The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté offers an expression of rare precision, tense and luminous. The nose reveals clear aromas of fresh lemon, green apple, and crisp pear, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a very pure mineral framework. The palate is straight, vibrant, and intensely saline, supported by a lively but perfectly integrated acidity. The texture is chiseled, almost crystalline, with a sense of depth that far exceeds the appellation's framework. The aging, carried out with extreme discretion, supports the wine without ever masking the brightness of the fruit or the natural freshness. The whole impresses by its clarity, energy, and length.
The 2023 vintage highlights all the potential of this emblematic cuvée, which has become over the years an absolute reference for the grape variety. At the table, this Bourgogne Aligoté ideally accompanies oysters, seafood, grilled fish, or simple and iodized cuisines. It also lends itself to pure tasting, so remarkable are its complexity and tension. Behind its apparent simplicity hides a very high-level wine, sought after by enthusiasts worldwide. This Bourgogne Aligoté from Domaine Anne Boisson is today considered one of the finest Aligotés in the world. An essential cuvée, truly to be discovered.
