Clotilde Davenne Bourgogne Aligoté
Clotilde Davenne Bourgogne Aligoté
It is a true pleasure and joy to finally launch a new wine from Clotilde Davenne in Sweden. In fact, for several years we have tried to get Clotilde to allocate a larger volume of aligoté for the Swedish market. We have finally succeeded. Clotilde Davenne is perhaps best known in Sweden for her sparkling wine Clotilde Davenne Crémant de Bourgogne. But she is not only adept at sparkling wines. She began her career by creating such excellent still white wines in the Chablis region that she became known as the Queen of Chablis. In Sweden, both Clotilde and her wines have been widely acclaimed. As recently as December 2022, she received Allt om Mat's prestigious Gyllene Glaset, and Allt om Vin named Clotilde Davenne "Producer of the Year." Impressive merits.

Character
Lively nose with aromas of white flowers, green fruit, and stone fruit such as peach. High minerality and acidity are accompanied by a fruity body and lovely roundness. An elegant and well-balanced wine despite its young age.
Food pairing
Despite its youth, Clotilde Davenne Aligoté 2022 is a relatively open wine, excellent for drinking now. Ideally paired with fish and seafood dishes, salads, light meats like chicken, or perhaps simply as an aperitif. Those who prefer to cellar the wine for a couple of years can advantageously do so.
Vinification
The grapes for this wine come from the slopes of Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, one of the villages in Yonne. Here, the soil is clayey and rich in limestone. After harvest at optimal ripeness, the grapes are destemmed and pneumatically pressed, then fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is filtered and fined before bottling to maintain purity and freshness, and it rests for eight months before reaching the table.
