2023 Comte Armand Aligote California with the cooler limestone characterFewer than 300 cases made. Lemon curd, green apple, white flowers, saline mineral finish Aligot at its most honest and alive. Comte Armand has been farming this ground organically and biodynamically since 1984, and even their most modest wine carries the full weight of that conviction: Ecocert certified, native yeast, no fining, no filtration, lunar calendar. The grape most of Burgundy treats as an afterthought this family takes seriously.
