Antoine Lienhardt Lienhardt Aligote 2021 NO20231115 Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casksThis biodynamic white from Comblanchien showcases the potential of Burgundy's most underrated grape. Sixty year old vines on limestone rich soils are direct pressed and aged in used barrels for 35 months, yielding a taut, mineral expression with salinity and precision. Delicate notes of salted lemon, hazelnut, and honey frame a gently viscous midpalate with impressive complexity for the appellation. A breakthrough bottle from a rising star.
