Aligoté
Ouverture Maceration Petillant 2023
Chapuis

Grape Variety: Aligoté

Producer: Arnaud Chapuis

Region: Haute Côtes de Beaune, Burgundy, France

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

12% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Aligoté grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeast after a period of skin contact. The wine was bottled before fermentation was complete in order to trap fizz inside (ancestral winemaking technique - Pet Nat). Aged on the lees for 1 year before disgorgement. Bottled with no filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Orange Pet Nat from Burgundy with a textured body and flavours of tropical fruit and minerals. An elite aperitif!

Notes on the Winemaker: The Chapuis family previously sold grapes to the local co-op in the Haute Côtes de Beaune region of Burgundy. Now Arnaud produces his own wines from these Pinot Noir and Aligoté that are energetic and elegant but still with a characterful, rustic edge.
