Alice et Olivier de Moor Bourgogne Aligote Plantation 1902

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2496

The 2009 Bourgogne Aligote Plantation 1902 is made from vines that are over 100 years old and is aged in oak barrels. It possesses breathtaking depth in its expressive, delineated fruit. Though texturally quite rich and intense, there is not a hint of heaviness to be found in this old-vines Aligote. The Plantation 1902 is another jewel of a wine from Olivier and Alice de Moor. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. My visit to this tiny estate in Courgis was a highlight of my recent stay in Chablis. These fabulous wines from Olivier and Alice de Moor are all the more remarkable because the de Moors own no premier or grand cru land. Through diligent, painstaking work Alice and Oliver de Moor have elevated their wines well above their humble pedigrees, showing just how much can be done when the focus is purely on growing the best fruit possible. Biodynamic farming and artisan winemaking are the rule here. The wines are aged 10-12 months in oak, see one racking and are bottled with no fining or filtration. Simply put, these are some of the most pure, striking wines readers will come across in Chablis, where so many wines are quite industrial. I was blown away by what I tasted. Readers should do whatever they can to taste these fine, handcrafted wines. The world could use a few more vignerons like the de Moors. I have listed the wines from Le Vendangeur Masque, the de Moor’s negociant line, separately.Importer: Louis/Dressner Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 334-8191
