Domaine Anne Boisson : Bourgogne Aligoté 2022

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 from Domaine Anne Boisson

Tasting

Colour

The colour is a bright, pale yellow, highlighted by delicate green reflections that hint at the wine's freshness.

Nose

The nose opens with vivid citrus aromas of lime and grapefruit, accompanied by more delicate nuances of white fruit such as green apple and pear. Subtle mineral notes, evoking wet stone, along with light smoky touches, complete this expressive bouquet.

Palate

The attack is lively and dynamic, driven by a distinct acidity that structures the whole without ever hardening it. The citrus flavours express themselves with energy, supported by a mineral backbone that brings depth and complexity, leading to a persistent, slightly tangy finish.

Food and Wine Pairings

This Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 is ideally suited to the aperitif or as an accompaniment to light dishes. It pairs naturally with seafood and shellfish, such as oysters, prawns or mussels, whose briny freshness it highlights. It also works very well with fresh goat's cheese, seasonal vegetable salads or fish tartare. Those who enjoy bolder pairings may also try it with poultry or duck breast, where its tension cuts pleasantly through the richness of the dish.

Serving and Cellaring

The Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 from Domaine Anne Boisson is served chilled, at around 10 to 12°C (50 to 54°F), in order to preserve all of its aromatic vibrancy. It can be enjoyed young for its freshness, but will gain in complexity after a few years of cellaring.

The Estate

Domaine Anne Boisson, registered in 2025 as an EARL in Meursault, is part of the history of the Boisson family, winegrowers in the Côte de Beaune for nearly two centuries. Anne Boisson now manages 1.5 hectares of vines spread between Meursault and Auxey-Duresses, as part of a larger family estate shared with her father and brother. Recognised as a rising figure of the appellation, she continues a rigorous approach to viticulture and winemaking, combining family tradition with a personal vision focused on purity and precision.

The Vineyard

The Aligoté vines behind this cuvée are around 60 years old and are planted around Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. They are farmed with respect for the soils, without chemical fertilisers, with regular ploughing of the plots and hand-harvesting. The age of the vines, combined with the limestone soils of the area, promotes natural concentration and a strong mineral expression.

The Vintage

The 2022 vintage in the Côte de Beaune stands out for its relatively warm conditions, which allowed for generous ripeness of the grapes while retaining marked freshness thanks to attentive vineyard management.

Winemaking and Ageing

The Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 is vinified with indigenous yeasts, favouring an authentic expression of the terroir and the vintage. It is aged in barrels for several months, with a very low proportion of new oak in order to preserve minerality and the purity of the fruit. Light lees stirring brings added texture, before bottling without filtration.
