Hubert Lignier Aligote Aux Poirelots 2023

The Lignier family owns a 0.4-hectare parcel of Aligoté in Gevrey-Chambertin proper, planted in 1944, and this wine offers a salty, racy profile of blasted chalk and golden fruit. It is a restrained, finely wrought Aligoté that avoids some of the variety’s occasionally coarse notes in favor of a prevailing mineral character. Vinified and aged in stainless steel on its fine lees, the wine is bottled without fining or filtration just prior to the next harvest.

Hubert Lignier treats his Aligoté with the same precision and respect he brings to his famous reds—and it shows beautifully in the 2023 Aux Poirelots.

This is crisp, mineral-driven Burgundy at its freshest: lemon zest, green apple, a whisper of white flowers, and a clean, salty snap on the finish. It’s feather-light but not simple—there’s texture and depth underneath the bright fruit, giving it the quiet confidence of a wine that knows exactly where it’s from.

A perfect snapshot of what makes Aligoté such a joy: all the precision and verve of great white Burgundy, but with a breezier, more playful edge.

Perfect for: oysters, goat cheese, simple salads, seafood pastas—or just keeping something sharp, fresh, and classic in the fridge for every occasion.
