Production Details Bourgogne Aligoté is an appellation produced throughout Burgundy though it is mostly found in the vineyards around Auxerre, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Nuits. Domaine Adélie's "Champ Renard" vineyard is located at the entrance of the village of Mercurey. In terms of winemaking, it is vinified in the same spirit and using the same traditional methods as for our Chardonnay grapes. Alcoholic fermentation: 60% in thermoregulated stainless steel vats and 40% in oak barrels. Aging on fine lees: 60% in stainless steel vats and 40% in oak barrels for 6 months, then 100% in stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 months. Partial oak-barrel ageing lends roundness and consistency while preserving all of this wine's freshness.
