Maison En Belles Lies presents the Bourgogne Blanc Aligoté, a bottle that stands out for lightness and finesse, born from a truly artisanal production spirit. It is a pure expression of Aligoté, a white grape variety native to Burgundy, particularly appreciated for its characteristic early ripening and remarkable frost resistance. In the hands of Pierre Fenals, the owner of the Domaine who, after working for decades in the fashion industry in Paris, decided to follow his strong wine passion, this variety takes on a pure and lively form, a faithful territorial and varietal manifestation.
The Aligoté Bourgogne Blanc from Maison En Belles Lies is a 100% Aligoté cultivated under biodynamic practices on soils particularly rich in clay and gravel, located about 320 meters above sea level. The vineyard from which the grapes come, surrounded by uncultivated land and woods, was the very first purchased by Pierre Fenals. The bunches are hand-picked and then gently pressed, with the must thus obtained left to ferment thanks to the yeasts naturally present on the berries and in the cellar environment. The subsequent maturation of 14 months on the fine lees takes place in steel tanks for 70% of the mass and in small used oak barrels for the remaining part. Throughout the entire processing, the liquid is not subjected to any clarification, filtration, or addition of sulfur.
The Bourgogne Blanc Aligoté Maison En Belles Lies has an intense straw yellow color. On the nose, rich and pronounced aromas of ripe yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus alternate, blending with sweet aromas of white flowers. Lively and generous on the palate, characterized by enticing freshness and a finely aromatic and balsamic finish.
