Lafarge Bourgogne Aligoté Cuvée Raisins Dorés 2018

92 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): “Frédéric Lafarge’s 80-year-old vines are located on the eastern side of the RN74 , like many of the Côte de Beaune’s most venerable Aligoté parcels. Picked very late on September 24th because of the grape’s pronounced levels of acidity, this lightly wooded white is rich, complex and self-assured with aromatic spices and pithy, citrus-edged acidity. Drinking Window: 2020-2028. (Oct 2018)”

‘Outstanding/Top value,’ Allen Meadows (Burghound): “An overtly spicy nose speaks primarily of green apple and citrus where the latter element can also be found on the delicious middle weight flavors that possess a lovely texture while exhibiting fine length on the balanced bitter lemon-inflected finale. Very good quality for its level and worth checking out. (Drink: 2022+. (Jun 2020)”
