Domaine Lafarge Bourgogne Aligote 'Raisins Dorés' 2021
$72.00
Description
A classic aligoté nose features ultra-fresh notes of spicy green apple and a plethora of citrus elements. There is impressive density to the intense and utterly delicious middleweight flavors that possess unusually good depth on the clean, dry and sneaky long finish. This is an excellent example of the genre and recommended, plus it will age for several years. Drink: 2025+
