Aligoté, Gouffier, Burgundy, France

Duncan Says: A modern, approachable wine  with all the style and panache of good Burgundy

Tasting Notes: Delightfully crisp, with a floral bouquet complemented by citrus notes. Shows good weight from a touch of oak, with purity of fruit and a fresh, saline finish.

Grapes: Aligoté

Best Enjoyed: A great wine for white fish and shellfish.

Good to Know: Working in partnership with their cooper based in Cognac, since the 2013 vintage Gouffier has been experimenting with using oak from the state forests of Fontaine, just a few miles from the vines, endeavouring to stay true to the local terroir.
