Description
WINEMAKER: Clemence Dubrulle
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETY: Aligoté
VITICULTURE: Organic
The Aligoté grows in two parcels totalling just 0.7 hectares in the Clos La Folie vineyard. About half of these grapes were planted in 1973 while the second, larger parcel was planted in 1947. These vines are a stone's throw away from the Bouzeron appellation on the same hill. No wood here in the élevage.
"The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté sports a snazzy retro label to reflect the century-old vines and the fact that these are Aligoté d’Oree. The delightful bouquet has delineated apricot and orange pith scents and hints of nectarine. The palate is well-balanced with impressive weight and a light resinous texture. It’s precisely what one looks for in an Aligoté without having to pay a fortune for the pleasure" - Neal Martin, Vinous
Technically closer to Bouzeron, yet within the Rully appellation, Domaine de la Folie is in Chagny in the Côte Chalonnaise. The domaine is unique in the Rully appellation; its vineyards are the highest in elevation and it is the northernmost in the AC… significant because it sits on the same vein of limestone as the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet, just over five kilometres away…
Unlike most Burgundian estates with vineyard holdings dotted across various appellations, Domaine de la Folie is unusual in that their 13 hectares of vines more or less surround the family house (which might easily be mistaken for a chateau thanks to its commanding position atop a hill overlooking the Saone). Even more unusually, half of its vineyards are monopoles. In the context of Burgundy, not sharing vineyards with other producers is extremely rare, but having three monopoles is almost unheard of.
