2022 La Grenade Bourgone Aligote Review

Oh my goodness, the sun. It is out, and it's incredible to see everyone thrilled. The next few days are going to be out of this world! I should have held onto this bottle, but the story behind this wine is fabulous! When Daniel started working in the vineyards in France, his professor got him a summer job, giving him the wine bug. Years upon years later, Daniel has a Lonesome Rock Aligote (@lonesomerock) from that same vineyard. Can you believe this? I was blown away as well when I heard the story. The 2022 La Grenade Bourgone Aligote 'Les Larets' blew my socks off! I am nowhere near an expert on Aligote, but my knees weaken when I take the first sip of this wine. On the nose, there is a crispness followed by a smooth and elegant entry. It is the mid-palate where my knees almost give way. The ever-present acidity mixed with the crispness is delectable. I want to swirl this over and over on the mid-palate. I don't want this taste to go away. Alas, I give up, and the finish on this is quite spectacular and lasts for over a minute. A spiciness lingers on the finish I adore over and over. This bottle is going on my shelf of special bottles! 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email once a month to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
