Bourgogne Aligote Domaine du Prieure - 2008Burgundy White Wine 75 cl Bottle
From the village of Savigny in the Côte de Beaune, Jean Michel Maurice takes pride in preserving the subtle influence of the terroir and varietal character in his white wines. White Burgundy made from the Aligoté grape variety is increasingly rare, especially in the area of Savigny where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay dominate. It is a fresh, easy drinking white with good balance and lively acidity, which makes it a fine accompaniment to seafood or on its own as an aperitif
Found in the heart of the Cote de Beaune, the picturesque village of Savigny-les-Beaune has for a long time earned its good name. It was here that the monks of Citeaux, the founders of the Burgundian vineyard system, became substantial property owners. In order to administer their vineyards they established a priory in the 16th century, hence the name. Today the domaine is owned by Jean-Michel Maurice, the mayor of Savigny, along with his son Stephen, who uses his international experience as winemaker.
