About this Wine
This Aligoté doesn’t whisper—it zings. Grown from 70-year-old vines at the foot of Volnay, it’s all green apple, lemon zest, and a flick of sea spray. Pierrick Bouley lets it sing with no sulfur at the start, and the result is electric: bright, salty, and just a little wild. One sip and you’ll understand why we jumped to bring it to the UK.

Tasting Notes
Zippy, salty, and gloriously fresh. From 70-year-old vines at the foot of Volnay. Aligoté with swagger. UK Exclusive.
Volnay Roots. 70-Year-Old Vines. UK Exclusive. Only 1,200 Bottles.
Planted in En Coulézin, a tiny plot at the foot of Volnay, this Aligoté is something special. The vines are 70 years old, the soils a classic mix of marl and clay. Pierrick Bouley handles it with a gentle touch—no sulfur during fermentation, a soft press, and ageing in used barrels to preserve energy and detail.
The result? A vibrant white wine with green apple, lemon, grapefruit, white pepper and zippy freshness. There's also a subtle creaminess and roundness from lees ageing that balances the zip, along with a slightly nutty, coconut edge from the old wood. It's a wine that tastes like it knows exactly what it's doing.

Aligoté rarely gets a leading role in Burgundy, but under Pierrick’s direction it positively shines. Crisp and clean, with citrus, stone and a flirt with the tropics, it is charming in all the right ways.
Vineyard care, style, soul; you can taste it! This is Burgundy with a twist, and one you can't help but love.

Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now and should give plenty of pleasure straight away. Open it for its perfume, texture and charm rather than waiting for the perfect distant moment.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.

Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.

Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
