Laurent Dufouleur Bourgogne Aligote

Dufouleur is one of the oldest names in Burgundy. Due to the intricacies of French inheritance laws, the name is attached to numerous wine domaines which were started by different branches of the family. The wines of Laurent Dufouleur are under the Maison L. Tramier & Fils label. This wine merchant and grower has been producing wine since 1842. The wines are still produced at the domaines original winery in Mercurey. Constructed in 1930, the winery’s vaulted cellars are built into a rock face, which ensures cool temperatures and optimal ageing conditions.

Lean and fresh, the Laurent Dufouleur Bourgogne Aligoté is an intriguing alternative to unoaked Chardonnay. Light lemon-green in the glass, on the nose it shows brisk aromas of green apples, pears, citrus zest, and acacia. The palate is light bodied with high acidity and a dry finish.
