Aligotè 2024

• Aligoté grown on clay-limestone soils in the Côte de Beaune.
• Harvested entirely by hand, parcel by parcel.
• The estate limits vineyard passes to protect soil structure.
• Domaine Germain carries High Environmental Value certification.

• Direct pressing, consistent with the estate's approach to white wines.
• Parcel-by-parcel vinification using indigenous yeasts.
• Oval concrete vessels preserve freshness, energy and fruit purity.
• Lees contact builds texture without introducing oak character.

Twelve months on the lees in 100% oval concrete egg vats. The vessel choice emphasizes Aligoté's directness and natural energy while the extended lees period adds dimension and mid-palate texture.

Pale gold, with apple, lemon and floral notes that vary with the vintage. The palate is energetic, lively and stimulating: a direct, moreish expression with a slightly unconventional edge.

• An oak-free Aligoté shaped entirely by concrete and lees.
• Hand harvesting and indigenous yeasts reinforce clarity of fruit.
• Bright, versatile and especially well suited to the aperitif.
