We're excited to share a refreshingly delicious white Burgundy at a great price. Saint-Genys' Aligote is fresh and lively with bright citrus and mineral character and has become a go-to for those seeking clean, crisp and dry white wines. If you enjoy, Sancerre or Chablis, this Aligote will please your palate. Even better, the exceptional quality-to-price ratio of this wine can't be beat!
James Suckling gave this wine 93 Points stating, "What a beautiful nose of Amalfi lemons and croissant" and calling it, "Very elegant with excellent concentration."
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys has rapidly become one of Burgundy's rising stars, crafting wines that rival the best of the Côte de Beaune for finesse and focus. Under the direction of Pierre-Jean Monnot, the estate brings modern precision to traditional craftsmanship, working sustainably across prized vineyards in Burgundy. This philosophy has placed the estate firmly among Burgundy's respected winemakers.
Burgundy insiders know that Aligoté, when grown on the right soils and handled with care, delivers some of the region's best white-wine values. The vineyards are located in southern Burgundy, planted on classic limestone and marl soils that naturally enhance freshness and tension. These cooler, well-drained sites are ideally suited for viticulture, allowing the grape to retain its signature energy while developing subtle complexity.
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys farms these vines sustainably and organically, encouraging biodiversity and soil vitality. Harvesting is done by hand, with vinification in small tanks to preserve fruit purity.
Fermentation is carried out with a gentle, hands-off approach, followed by élevage primarily in stainless steel to emphasize purity, clarity, and terroir expression. The result is a wine that is clean, expressive, and refreshingly honest.
The 2022 Les Héritiers Saint-Genys Bourgogne Aligoté is a textbook example which overdelivers and is proof that great Burgundy doesn't have to come with a grand cru price tag.
JAMES SUCKLING 93 POINTS - "What a beautiful nose of Amalfi lemons and croissant. Hard to believe this is really aligote, but it is. Very elegant with excellent concentration, the bright lemony acidity and chalky minerality giving terrific energy in the very long finish. Limited production. Drink or hold."
