Domaine Fabien Coche Aligote 2023

Description

Product Description A standout Aligote from one of Burgundy’s most exciting under-the-radar domaines. Domaine Fabien Coche crafts this old-vine Aligote from parcels planted between the 1950s and 1970s in Meursault, delivering unexpected depth and richness for the variety. Fabien Coche, cousin to the famed Coche-Dury family, has established his own reputation for purity, precision, and authenticity in winemaking—bridging the tension between tradition and modernity. The 2023 Aligote is strikingly complex: white flowers and struck match aromatics overlay ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, and saline minerality. Its concentration reflects the estate’s old vines, while fermentation in stainless steel preserves freshness and energy.
