About

Fresh, vibrant, and full of character, this 2023 Aligoté from Domaine Charles Audoin is a shining example of how expressive this often-overlooked white Burgundy grape can be. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards near Marsannay, this wine reflects purity, minerality, and the winery’s commitment to terroir-driven winemaking.

Producer

A descendant of a family in which the art of winemaking was passed from father to son, Charles Audoin became the head of the winery in 1972 together with his wife Marie-Françoise, an oenologist by training. The 35-acre winery, located in the commune of Marsanne-la-Côte, produces fourteen different wines thanks to its large variety of soils and grape varieties. Renowned for the quality and consistency of its wines, which often win prizes in the price-performance category in various competitions, Domaine Charles Audoin uses traditional wine-making methods.

Tasting notes

Clear pale yellow in the glass. The nose offers lively aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a hint of white flowers. On the palate, it’s crisp and linear, with a mineral backbone, refreshing acidity, and a clean, dry finish. A great example of Aligoté’s tension and energy.

Pairing

Perfect as an aperitif, or served alongside fresh seafood, grilled vegetables, goat cheese, or light salads. Its acidity also makes it a great companion to rich dishes like quiche Lorraine or creamy sauces.

Aligote

All products from this varietal

Light dry white wines are made from Aligote. The bouquet is floral, with herbal notes and light minerality. The acidity is high. Aligote wines better to consume in young age.

Burgundy

All products from this region

Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
