2023

100% Aligoté. The de Moors have a 2.5-hectare parcel of mainly Aligoté down the road from their Courgis home and cellar in Chitry-Le-Fort. They planted the parcel starting in 1995 (including some Chard that goes into their Bourgogne Chitry). The exposure is northwest and the soils are clay over hard limestone rock. The farming is organic and the harvest by hand. The bunches are destemmed, gently pressed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in tank. The wine goes through malo and is aged on its lees without bâtonnage or racking in mainly enamel-lined steel tanks for a year. Bottling is without filtration and a small bit of sulfur. (For the 2023 vintage, a piece of it was aged an additional year in tank and foudre.)
