2021 Bourgogne Aligoté, Maison Camille Giroud, Burgundy

This is from old vines of Aligoté Doré near Pernand-Vergelesses. Jasper Morris, in his book Inside Burgundy, states that old Aligoté from around Pernand-Vergelesses is supposed to resemble Corton-Charlemagne with time, but it must be harvested late. This year’s harvest was around 3rd October. Every note says the same: delicious. You can drink it now but patience beyond a safe timeframe is also rewarded.
