Antoine Lienhardt Lienhardt Aligote 2021

This biodynamic white from Comblanchien showcases the potential of Burgundy's most underrated grape. Sixty-year-old vines on limestone-rich soils are direct-pressed and aged in used barrels for 35 months, yielding a taut, mineral expression with salinity and precision. Delicate notes of salted lemon, hazelnut, and honey frame a gently viscous midpalate with impressive complexity for the appellation. A breakthrough bottle from a rising star.
