2020 Burgundy: Aligoté & Passetoutgrains

2020 Burgundy: Aligoté & Passetoutgrains
Superb value for money!

Our 2020 Burgundy campaign is drawing to a close, if you still haven’t placed your order, please contact us by 10th February.
 
In the meantime, here are some excellent ‘alternative’ wines for you to consider, a 2020 Aligoté from Paul Pillot and a 2020 Passetoutgrains from Gagnard-Delagrange which offer superb value for money.
 
Thierry Pillot is the fourth generation to take on the reins at Domaine Paul Pillot. He has made a name for himself as one of Burgundy’s most exciting white wine makers and this very refreshing Aligoté is a classic example of his focused, terroir driven style. A grape that was first recorded in Burgundy in the 18th century, and is still planted almost exclusively there, Aligoté is undergoing something of a resurgence. In the right hands, it produces deliciously energetic wines.
 
Gagnard-Delagrange is one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s best domaines. Famous for its elegant whites, it produces some wonderful reds too including this excellent Passetoutgrains – so delicious when we tasted last year that we insisted on buying a full barrel. Unlike other Burgundy wines, which are primarily produced from a single grape, Passetoutgrains is made from Gamay and Pinot Noir, the Gamay giving refreshing crunchy red fruit to the blend, perfect in a warm vintage such as 2020.

Please contact us to purchase the last few remaining cases while you can.

2020 Bourgogne Aligoté, Domaine Paul Pillot

‘A cut above your average Aligoté, this stands out for its citrussy aromas with a touch of honeysuckle, as well as its bright and energetic palate. Grown from a small plot around Chassagne-Montrachet and aged for about a year in barrel, this is remarkably elegant and refreshing – a favourite at Bancroft Wines. Drink from 2022.’ Bancroft Note
