2007 A. et P. de Villaine Aligoté Bouzeron - France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Bouzeron (9/16/2009)
WIML89

Tasted September 16, 2009 at an offline.

Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose wet stones, light grapefruits, a dash of orange and a hint of graham cracker. Flavors of lime, orange, a little grapefruit and minerals. Medium to bright acidity, light to medium body. Drink over the short term and perhaps the medium term. (89 pts.)

I think these wines are often underrated. Aubert does great things with aligote.

Indeed, these are kind of a revelation.

I dig these notes, but it would sure be easier to put them all in one thread and not have a thread for each one.

I’ve been a huge de Villaine fan for years. This Aligote isn’t as cheap as it once was, but it’s always quality stuff.

Sometimes I do depending on the event. For instance, see the Paul Does Dallas thread. That was a Berserker offline so I posted one thread. The problem is sometimes I post notes individually as I have time. That might be one now, 4 this afternoon, 2 tomorrow morning, etc… I think the real problem is i just flat out post a TON of notes!
