This Bourgogne Aligoté 2019 from Thierry Mortet is a lightly-priced aligoté monocépage, an excellent value in Burgundy. It is produced from a single plot of Bourgogne Aligoté vines representing an area of 25 ares planted on clay-limestone soil with the presence of white marl. It is 25 years old and located in the commune of Daix on the Côte de Dijon. Aged in vats for 8 months, this is a micro-production with an average of only 2000 bottles per vintage. A very fine organic white from Burgundy.
Tasting notes:

The advice of 12Bouteilles: This Bourgogne Aligoté 2019 from Thierry Mortet will be perfect for an aperitif to seafood dinner. Ready to drink and enjoy within 2-3 years of bottling, some enthusiasts like to keep wines a little longer...
Domaine Thierry Mortet was founded in 1992 following the dissolution of Domaine Mortet Charles & Fils, which belonged to Thierry's father and was shared between him and his brother Denis. Today, they farm 8.5 hectares in the centre of the village of Gevrey Chambertin, between Dijon and Nuits-Saint-Georges, where the vines are cultivated using integrated farming methods. The domain's aim is to offer elegant, limited-production wines that sincerely express the characteristics of the variety of Burgundy's greatest terroirs.

Domaine Thierry Mortet Bourgogne Aligoté 2019 is ready to drink now. The estate recommends drinking it within two to three years of bottling to enjoy its freshness: seven years after the harvest, it has nothing more to gain from cellaring. Serve it chilled, between 8 and 10 °C.
Domaine Thierry Mortet describes 2019 as a year of concentrated berries that kept good acidity, after early-April frosts, a dry summer and August rain that restarted ripening. The aligoté comes from a 25-are plot of clay-limestone soil with white marl in Daix, on the Côte de Dijon. It is aged for eight months in vats, on its lees and without oak, which preserves its grapefruit, green apple and citrus aromas.
Bourgogne Aligoté is made from aligoté, Burgundy's second white grape, which is livelier and lighter than the chardonnay used for Bourgogne Blanc. Domaine Thierry Mortet's version, aged in vats, is all about freshness and citrus. A chardonnay-based Bourgogne Blanc, often aged in oak, is fuller and rounder. Aligoté suits aperitifs and seafood, while chardonnay suits poultry in cream sauce and fish in sauce.
Oysters call for a dry, crisp white without oak, whose acidity matches their briny flavour: Domaine Thierry Mortet Bourgogne Aligoté 2019, aged in vats with notes of grapefruit and green apple, is a Burgundian option at €13.50. Serve it between 8 and 10 °C. It also goes well with a seafood platter, or with charcuterie as an aperitif, as the estate recommends.
