This great little Aligoté comes to us from just outside of Chablis in Burgundy, France. In fact, the tiny town of Chitry is making a name for itself for top quality wines grown on the same chalky, Kimmeridigian soils as are prevalent in Chablis. The resulting wines have a similarly distinct mineral quality about them. Olivier Morin left a life in the music industry behind to tend to his family’s farm in 1992, and trading in his turntables for a tractor set him on the path he still pursues today. This Aligoté is just delightful. Fresh notes of lemon verbena, lemon flesh, chamomile, and a faintly bright quality like adding a little honey to an herbal tea. A very intriguing wine that is just so drinkable with a mediterranean-style pan roasted chicken with artichoke hearts and olives.
