Grape – Aligoté

Natural white wine can take on many forms; from bone-dry, pale in colour and decidedly classical, all the way through to wines with a much deeper, golden hue and notable substance. Hazy, vinous, and textured, with a plump succulence that coats the palate. We hope that our wide-ranging selection will throw up some new discoveries and maybe even take you out of your comfort zone to pastures new.

From traditional direct-press to wines that are allowed to mingle on the skins for just a short time, lending deeper, complex tones; whether you live to worship white Burgundy or seek out the most rugged, off-the-radar bottles from remote Italian or Spanish backwaters, you’ll find much to explore here.

Arnaud Chapuis
Ouverture Blanc 2022

This is his direct-press Aligoté, given a slow 24-48 hour press in his antique basket press, which gives texture and body to the wine. It has electric acidity and incredibly pure fruit. Find out more.

Meligoté 2023

From a single parcel of 2/3 Aligote & 1/3 Melon de Bourgogne, of which the majority are ungrafted. Benoit pressed the grapes directly and ages in barrel. The Aligote brings tension and focus, the Melon roundness and aromatics. Find out more.
