PRACTICING ORGANIC
The Aligoté for this wine comes from a single vineyard of only 0.2 hectare in size, which was planted in 1987. This is some high-quality old-school Aligoté, gently pressed with no settling of must, primary and malolactic fermentations in oak (but only 20% new), no lees stirring during élevage, and nearly two years of aging in 4-5 year-old neutral oak. This all serves to cultivate a rich and creamy profile while preserving this varietal's natural freshness, creating an Aligoté that is crisp but flavorful and speaks of Jobard's incredible terroir.
