I remember drinking early editions of this wine, maybe 30 years ago. I just checked, and CdC has been growing aligote since 1978. Kudos to them for not pulling out the vines and replacing them with a trendier variety. This edition is clean, fresh and food-friendly, and even in this relatively cool vintage, has very good body and length, putting me in mind of chenin blanc. The screwcap closure is a wise move too. Well done!
