' ''The 2022 Bourgogne Aligote Raisins Dores has a very pure bouquet, quite entrancing, with scents of honeysuckle, quince and Japanese yuzu. Lovely definition. The palate is well-balanced with a spicy entry. It's a lively Aligote with a touch of pepperiness towards the finish. Delightful. As usual, I tasted with Frederic Lafarge and his daughter Clothilde at their somewhat labyrinthine winery in Volnay, with so many annexes you could easily get lost. Then again, there are a few wineries that I would like to get lost in.'' Despite the canicule [long period of hot, dry weather], we have a good freshness in the wine, Lafarge explained. We didn't have any hydric stress, which is because of our biodynamic treatments in the vineyard. We harvested from August 26 until September 17, finishing with the Aligote. The reds came in at around 13.5% alcohol. I think that the 2022s will give us more pleasure than 2021. Neal Martin, Vinous.com '
