Medium+ Ruby, youthful pronounced aromas of fragrant red berry fruits, pepper, smoky and earthy notes. On the palate vibrant flavors of black raspberry, strawberry and cherry with notes of forest floor. Medium+ acidity with soft rustic tannins on long finish ending with cedar and earthy character. Very nice now will improve in the cellar! — 4 years ago

Lovely wine that’s added complexity with age. Pear/apricot on nose and lemon curd and nutmeg flavors. Dark straw color, viscous with moderate acidity. — 6 years ago

The aroma is very average, but the mineral volume elevates it to an excellent wine. Unlike most Aligote it feels like it comes from a serious terroir. The fruit purity trails those of Fichet, Arnaud Ente and Chevillon. — 6 years ago

I loved it! Deceptively simple, so comforting and acidic just enough to make it delicious. If Pinot is your game, than this is wine for you. You’ll love it from the first strawberry aroma. — 7 years ago

My first encounter with this producer and from my research, it's owned by the wine school in Beaune. The school runs a full-fledged domaine so students can learn hands-on in the winery and vineyards. Wine sales from the domaine also keeps the school independent, without relying on any grants. In total, the school operates an impressive 23+ hectares of vineyards, across 20 different appellations. My guess is that the hectarage is a combination of ownership, metayage, and fermage. For instance, the Beaune Les Teurons here is composed of two parcels owned by the French State and the city of Beaune, but farmed by the school.

This was the only wine during lunch that wasn't blinded, so it formed an interesting baseline for blinding the 17' Chevillon Les Vaucrains. The nose was so different - more red-fruited and spicy, with a rather candied edge. The palate was friendlier in some sense - juicy and soft, yet all underpinned by bright acidity. The perception of acidity was certainly more here than in the Chevillon, which is perhaps heightened by the less muscular density. Tannins present themselves in the finish, but more integrated and satiny than the Chevillon (more fine powder). Doesn't quite match the length of the Chevillon, but still moderately long with earthy, almost-mineral notes dominating. Overall, enjoyable and educational, but brings less interest to the table than the Chevillon. — 3 years ago

Lovely intense medium cherry lipstick nose. Palate is crunchy cherries. Delicious. Perfect balance. Amazing freshness. Stay tuned ... this will change as it opens.

As it opens the nose is dense perfume. Really concentrated. Almost like a gas transforming into a liquid in your nostrils.

Palate is amazing. Terrific texture. Crazy internal aromatics. Palate coating beyond belief.

90 minutes in this is spectacularly delicious.

This vaporizes chevillon so bad it’s not funny. Cant believe this is a village wine. Wow.

Tanins are still a bit chunky. My guess is that they need another 2-3 years to smooth out.

Decanted for 30 minutes. Cherry, cranberry, dried strawberries, and leather. Drinking very well right now. This is a great value at $40. — 6 years ago

Double decanted at Ma Cuisine. Charming from the get go. Attractive nose of sweet spices and cool red berry fruit. Quite Vosne like. Very elegant and smooth on the palate, while slight astringency gives way to NSG. Later learned that the fruit is owned by Hospice de Nuits. Even more impressive considering Hubert Lignier doesn't own the vineyards. Personally a fan of Les St George made by Lignier and Faiveley. I have go to try the Chevillon and Gouge to see how the style differs for this terroir! — 7 years ago

An exercise in balance. Proper oak seasoning like a pinch of salt - does its job, enhances, doesn't get in the way. Employed in typical Burgundian policy. Elegant subtle apricot peach, starfruit and vanilla. The mouth has good texture and flavors of peachy vanilla wafer, almond skin bitter decent. — 3 years ago

Gorgeous wine. Benefiting from an hour or two open in the bottle. No rush to drink but gives a lot of pleasure now too. Really a fine bottle — 6 years ago
