Guillaume Lafon Bourgogne Aligote, Burgundy, France 2024

Bourgogne Aligoté, Burgundy 2024

A remarkable expression of Burgundy’s often-overlooked Aligoté grape from Guillaume Lafon, the next generation of one of the region’s most celebrated winemaking families. Sourced from organically farmed, century-old vines near Bouze-lès-Beaune, this limited 2024 release delivers exceptional purity and character. Fresh lemon, lime and green apple lead into crushed stone and a distinctive saline minerality. Made and aged entirely in stainless steel, the wine is taut, vibrant and beautifully focused, with mouthwatering acidity and a clean, lingering finish. This is Aligoté at its most compelling, energetic, refined and full of personality. A terrific discovery for Burgundy lovers and an outstanding aperitif wine from a name worth following.
