There are records of the Aligoté grape variety in Burgundy dating back to the 17th century. It flourishes in the region and is found in the départments of the Saône-et-Loire, the Côte-d’Or, and in the Yonne, where it reflects the diversity of each terroir. This grape variety has enjoyed the official appellation BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉ since 1937.
Located high above the village of Couchey in one of the driest parts of the appellation of Marsannay, this parcel of almost 100-year-old vines is home to a historical, unique genetic selection of Aligoté.
With a soil of Comblanchien limestone, very rare in the appellation, this terroir gives the resulting wine a dynamic energy in addition to richness and volume. Low yields, very late harvest.
