Louis Latour Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 Burgundy, France
Louis Latour Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 is a fresh white Burgundy made from Aligoté, the region's traditional second white grape alongside Chardonnay. This wine perfectly demonstrates why Aligoté remains so beloved in Burgundy: vibrant citrus fruit, fresh almond, a round attack, and a clean, mineral finish. The grapes come from 30-year-old vines on limestone soils and are hand-harvested, giving this Aligoté more precision and refinement than often found in this category.
Vineyards and region
Bourgogne Aligoté comes from the broader Bourgogne appellation, where Aligoté has long held its own alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
• Location / Origin: This wine falls under the Bourgogne Aligoté appellation. This is a regional Burgundian appellation that is entirely dedicated to white wine made from Aligoté.
• Soil: The vines are grown on limestone. This soil helps the grape maintain freshness, tension, and a mineral undertone in the finish.
• Vineyard & Harvest: The vines are on average 30 years old, and the yield is around 45 hl per hectare. The grapes are hand-harvested, which helps to bring in the fruit carefully and cleanly.
Grape composition
This white Burgundy is made entirely from Aligoté.
• Aligoté – Burgundy: What is Aligoté? Aligoté is a traditional white grape variety from Burgundy, known for fresh citrus, lively acidity, and a delicate almond note. The grape became extra famous thanks to Kir, the Burgundian aperitif mix of Aligoté with crème de cassis.
Winemaking and aging
The vinification aims for freshness, purity, and a round yet energetic style.
• Fermentation: The wine traditionally ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and undergoes full malolactic fermentation. This ensures that the citrus fruit remains bright, while the acidity is softened somewhat, making the wine feel rounder.
• Aging: The wine ages for 8–10 months in stainless steel tanks. This preserves the fresh lemon, almond, and mineral tension, keeping them pure and unoaked.
• Aging Potential: This Bourgogne Aligoté has an aging potential of 2–5 years. This aligns well with its fresh, mineral style, where citrus and immediate drinkability are key.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
In the glass, Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 has a brilliant pale yellow color with subtle green reflections. The aroma is expressive, with fresh lemon and delicate notes of fresh almond. The taste is round and lively, with citrus, nutty almond tones, and a clean mineral finish.
• Serving temperature: Serve this Bourgogne Aligoté at 10–12 °C, so that the citrus, almond, and mineral freshness remain beautifully crisp.
• Dishes: Delicious as an aperitif and with shellfish, charcuterie, light fish dishes, and fresh salads.
