Domaine JEAN-MARC VINCENT Bourgogne Aligote "Soler'AI" I

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: Chardonnay

Tasting Notes: "A blend of vintages 2018 through 2022, the inaugural release of Jean-Marc Vincent's NV Bourgogne Aligoté Solera demonstrates the interest in complementary blending in Burgundy, something that was much more common in the past, even if producers have always labeled their wines with a vintage. Exhibiting aromas of crisp orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, orange zest and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and satiny, its textural attack segueing into a satiny and incisive core, concluding with a long, saline finish. It's going to be fascinating to follow this innovative cuvée's future - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About the winery: Domaine Jean-Marc Vincent is a small estate in Santenay, Burgundy, managed by Jean-Marc and Anne Marie. They cultivate the vineyard close to organic farming and use caterpillar-tracked engines instead of heavy machines. They "tress" their vines and plant them in high density, resulting in wines of exceptional intensity. Harvest is done by hand and sorted in the vineyard. The estate is known for its traditional methods and respect for Jean Marc's grandfather's traditions.
