Aligote Soler'Al

A blend of vintages 2018 through 2022, the inaugural release of Jean-Marc Vincent's NV Bourgogne Aligoté Solera demonstrates the interest in complementary blending in Burgundy, something that was much more common in the past, even if producers have always labeled their wines with a vintage. Exhibiting aromas of crisp orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, orange zest and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and satiny, its textural attack segueing into a satiny and incisive core, concluding with a long, saline finish. It's going to be fascinating to follow this innovative cuvée's future.
