Region: Côte de Nuits, Burgundy
Grape/s: Aligoté
Farming: Lutte rasionée to organic/biodynamic
Tasting Note: Stylistically this tastes like a pét nat with a lovely frothy mousse and lots of floral aromatic fruit. It is gorgeously light and we've discovered is the perfect match with fresh goat's cheese and quince paste. Utterly unique and extremely quaffable!
