That reputation undersells it. Planted in the right place and farmed seriously, it makes a sharper, more saline white than Chardonnay, and a growing number of top domaines now bottle it with real care. D'Angerville's Aligoté comes from a single plot in the commune of Volnay, on the flat eastern side of the village rather than on the premier cru slope. Its lower position produces a wine built on acidity and freshness instead of weight, which is exactly the point of Aligoté. The same family that farms Volnay's premier crus farms this plot, with the same biodynamic approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Bourgogne Aligoté 2024 is 100% Aligoté, bottled early, in the summer after harvest, to hold onto its snap. The house style is orchard fruit and lime, waxy lemon pith, a streak of metallic, stony minerality, then salinity and bright energy through a clean, cutting finish. 2024 was a very wet year across Burgundy, with rainfall near double normal through winter and spring, a difficult flowering and months of mildew pressure, and Guillaume d'Angerville counts it among the hardest seasons in the estate's history. White grapes fared better than red, and the Côte de Beaune whites came in taut and mineral, a style that suits Aligoté from Burgundy very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe People\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Marquis d'Angerville is now in the hands of its next generation as well as its current one. Guillaume d'Angerville, who took over in 2003 after the death of his father Jacques, has been joined by his daughter Margot, who came to the domaine in 2023 and is training to lead it in time. Guillaume has also looked beyond Volnay. In 2012 he and régisseur François Duvivier founded Domaine du Pélican in the Jura, near Arbois, working Savagnin, Chardonnay, Trousseau, Poulsard and Pinot Noir, and in 2015 the vineyards of the retiring Jacques Puffeney, one of the Jura's most admired growers, were entrusted to them. The same attention to detail runs from the Clos des Ducs all the way down to a humble Aligoté.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a white built for food with some salt and fat in it. A dozen oysters on the half shell with mignonette is the obvious and correct choice. Gougères, warm from the oven and heavy on the Gruyère, are what Burgundians serve with Aligoté. Fish tacos with cabbage slaw and lime crema love its acidity, and a goat cheese salad with walnuts and a mustard vinaigrette plays to its sharp, citrus side. Add a splash of crème de cassis for a proper kir if you like. Keep a bottle cold for the nights when dinner is quick but you still want the wine to be good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51408274620639,"sku":null,"price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P9170331.jpg?v=1789709889","url":"https:\/\/danverwinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-marquis-d-angerville-bourgogne-aligote-2024","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
