Brilliant Burgundy
Written By Sarah Kemp

Corney and Barrow Label Aligoté 2018 Marquis d’Angerville

Why is Aligoté treated as a second class grape in Burgundy? In the hands of a great winemaker (and we certainly have one here) it can hold its head up as high as its illustrious neighbours. Beautifully poised, elegant, with classic refinement, this Aligoté shows sheer class. It delivers a concentrated core of firm fresh fruit, green apples, hints of lemon zest, with a tension holding everything together, thrilling acidity and superb length. 11.5%,
