Sylvain Dussort - Bourgogne Aligoté 2019
87/100
RVF
"A full-bodied Aligoté!"
"Despite a hint of reduction, it offers beautiful flavor in a dense and lively texture, but with body." (La Revue du Vin de France - June 2021). This Burgundy Aligoté is atypical for its appellation. The vines located on the outskirts of the village of Meursault are between 35 and over 80 years old. Aged on lees for several months, the fruit is very present and a pleasant floral bouquet emerges. The palate is round and generous with a rich texture and a slight acidity.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Born to parents who were winegrowers and coopers, Sylvain Dussort and his wife settled here in 1982 and now cultivate 6.5 hectares of regional and village appellations in Meursault and Chorey-lès-Beaune. Their cultivation methods are opposed to systematic pest control, and their vinification process uses only indigenous yeasts and follows Burgundian tradition, with aging in barrels. Sylvain is also a proponent of the new Bourgogne Côte d'Or appellation, which he has proudly claimed since the 2017 vintage.
