Jean Marc Vincent's Bourgogne Aligote Soler-Al mise No. 3 2023, is the third iteration of this release. A solera style Aligoté drawn from the 2018-19-20-22-24 vintages. While this is, in fact a white Burgundy from Côte de Beaune, it is made in a solera style with a grape varietie which is often seen in less regard than the renowned Chardonnay. This is a side project which adds unique characteristics, and enriches the wine solely made from Aligoté. To this method the wine owes its name Soler for Solera and Al for Aligoté.

As a result, the wine has a richer texture than is typically found in this variety, yet it retains its remarkable sharpness.

Tasting Note Bourgogne Aligote 'Soler-Al' mise No 3 2023

Aromas of green apple and lemon zest come to the fore, with chalky, almost salty nuances lingering in the background. The palate is refined without being overly delicate; it is the Aligoté variety's inherent natural acidity, rather than intense fruit, that provides the structural backbone here. The level of ripeness achieved during a warm vintage smooths out the mid-palate. The finish is dry, with citrus nuances and a faint hint of bitterness. It can be enjoyed while still young.

Grape Varieties

This wine is made from 100% Aligoté grapes. Early-ripening and retaining high natural acidity, it belongs to the Pinot lineage, just like the Chardonnay variety, and imparts nuances of stone fruit, apple, and citrus to the wine; it lacks the characteristic breadth found in Chardonnay's.

Cellaring Potential

Best enjoyed by 2034. Thanks to its acidity, this wine has a longer aging potential than most wines made from the Aligoté variety. Serve directly from the bottle at 10-12 °C. Decanting is not necessary.

About Jean Marc Vincent

Since 1997, Jean-Marc Vincent has been gradually buying back, plot by plot, the abandoned vineyards that once belonged to his grandfather. The vines are trained high, and heavy tractors have been replaced by manual labour. His Aligoté deserves more attention than is typically given to this variety.

Terroir & Climate

The Vincent's plot is located around Santenay and at the southern end of Côte de Beaune, on a slope of limestone and clay-rich marl that basks in the morning sun. It is precisely this limestone that gives these wines a firm texture and a crisp minerality. For high-acidity varieties like Aligoté, this means the wine's flavor is firm rather than sharp. In some of the newer plantings, the planting density reaches 14,000 to 15,000 vines per hectare, creating a situation where each vine competes for water.

Winemaking

The grapes are carefully placed into the press whole, and all processes in the cellar are carried out using gravity rather than pumps. Fermentation is carried out using native yeasts. The wine is then aged on its lees for up to 18 months in a combination of barrels and 500-liter demi-muids (large oak barrels). During this process, the proportion of new barrels is approximately 10-15 percent. The proportion of new barrels is kept low.

Food Pairing

Since acidity plays a key role here, serving this wine after rich or salty dishes is a great way to play with the acidity in the wine. Gougères, cheese puffs made with Burgundian, are a great first course. Next option could be oysters or escargot cooked in garlic oil, which highlight the wine's citrusy nuances. This wine also pairs well with young goat cheese and river fish served with beurre blanc sauce.
