Maison de La Chapelle - Bourgogne Aligoté 2020
89/100
Robert Parker
"A festive and generous Aligoté"
"Made from two parcels in Chitry that are vinified in vats, the 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté bursts with aromas of crisp orchard fruits, honeysuckle, and fresh bread. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, silky, and concentrated, it is textured yet chiseled, ending with a chalky touch . It is a real success. (Wine Advocate 2021).

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The wonderful adventure continues for Grégory Viennois and Delphine Carré, alongside their respective activities for the Laroche estates. This pure red wine merchant in the Irancy appellation was missing from the region's landscape, especially as they launched with the splendid 2015 vintage. In 2016, they preferred to blend everything into a single cuvée, but the 2017 vintage sees a return to the now customary three cuvées, with an absolutely splendid Beaux-Monts. You'll need to reserve your cuvées at the estate very early!

A very young wine merchant established in 2015 by Delphine and Grégory Viennois. Delphine comes from a family of winemakers and has worked for some of Burgundy's leading estates.

Jacques Prieur) and Jean-Pierre de Smet (Dom. de l'Arlot), made wine at Ch. Smith-Haut-Lafitte, was technical director at Michel Chapoutier and managing director at Ferraton Père & Fils. Since 2011, he has been technical director at Dom. Laroche in Chablis and has been consulting for Quinta Do Monte d'Oiro in Portugal since 2006.
