"With its slightly retrograde character, Ali Boit Boit has a spicy aroma. Voluminous, with a creamy effervescence, its subtle sweet fruitiness makes it very appealing." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) This traditional method, also known as Pétillant Naturel, is the result of early bottling of Aligoté. With no tirage or expedition liqueur, these bubbles give way to pure, thirst-quenching fruit. All of Agnès Paquet's expertise in a delightful bubble waiting to be discovered!

Wine making

Ancestral method (natural sparkling): bottled before fermentation is complete. No addition of liqueur de tirage or expedition. Alcoholic fermentation begins in vats. The wine is bottled while alcoholic fermentation is only partially complete. It will resume in the bottle, creating gas. Yeast is unable to work beyond a certain pressure. Alcoholic fermentation therefore stops naturally. The wine has an alcohol content of 8 to 9% and approximately 20 g of residual sugar.

Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About wine:

Made from 100% Aligoté grapes, this wine has very fine, delicate bubbles and a delicious balance between the freshness of Aligoté and natural sweetness.

About the estate:

Agnès Paquet produced her first vintage in Meloisey in 2001 on a family plot located in Auxey-Duresses. She has masterfully managed her estate, which now covers 12.5 hectares in Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Auxey-Duresses, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Saint-Aubin, where the vines are intelligently cultivated according to organic principles. The whites are straightforward and refined, while the reds, partially vinified from whole clusters, are precise and delicious. Of particular note is the production of a house sparkling wine, made using traditional methods and produced exclusively from Aligoté grapes.

About the estate:

Wine rated (2021 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About wine:

With its slightly retro character, Ali Boit Boit has a spicy aroma. Full-bodied, with a creamy mousse, its subtle sweet fruitiness makes it very appealing.

About the estate:

It was to prevent the sale of her family's plot of land in Auxey-Duresses that Agnès Paquet, a business school graduate, chose to become a winemaker. She produced her first vintage in 2001. The style continues to favor frankness and freshness, which we greatly appreciate.
