baked pastry and almonds

and with a prestigious location right next to both Mouton and Lafite

the wine in 2010 embodies the classical proportions of the vintage with a lovely harmony between fruit

sugared and toasted and even into the syrup-glazed kind found atop spiced confections

It has a lovely aroma of dark fruit on the nose with a hint of garrigue and minerality that makes me think of an Old-world Syrah

2021 Bourgogne Aligoté, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Burgundy World Cup 2026 baked pastry and almondsThe Sylvain Cathiard estate produces some of Burgundys most exceptional wines. This is fresh, bright, and textural, with lovely saline notes and intense flavors of lemon and grapefruit zest. The finish is longer than might be expected for an Aligot, and is immensely pleasurable.
