Bourgogne Aligoté "Jeunes Vignes", Alice et Olivier De Moor
Producer introduction
Alice and Olivier de Moor met while on an internship at the House of Brocard, soon after this the two young oenologists started their own 6 hectare domaine in Courgis, Chablis. They own no Premier Cru or Grand Cru sites, but their wines have more flavour and texture than many of these wines. This is in part due to their organic vineyard management and also their super low yields. In the Bel Air and Rosette parcels the yield is 30% below the norm. Winemaking is unashamedly natural, in such a mechanised region they are a beacon of the boutique: no added yeast and judicious use of 1 to 4 year old barriques ensure maximum personality, there is no fining or filtration here and little need for sulphur, the vigour of the wine resonates from the glass.

Tasting Notes
Made like wine in the Chablis region used to be with indigenous yeasts, very little sulphur, and nothing else. The De Moors have dared to take on the inherent pitfalls of farming in Chablis with a very natural approach. This really shows through here. The Aligote tastes natural in the mouth and the absence of additives allows the true flavour of the grape to speak for it self, buttery and full with just a hint of acidity at the end.
