Awards/Ratings
Widely regarded by collectors as an iconic, top-tier Aligoté from Domaine d'Auvenay; extremely rare and highly priced on the secondary market (examples: market listings €2,000–€3,000 for older vintages). No single formal award widely cited for the 1999 vintage
Tasting Note
Powerful, mineral-driven Aligoté: citrus, green apple, white flowers, wet stone and honeyed tertiary notes. High energy, focused acidity and a dense, saline finish with long persistence.
Food Pairing
Western: oysters, grilled/poached fish, sole meunière, roast chicken with cream, aged goat cheese. Asian: sushi/sashimi, Vietnamese spring rolls, Thai lemongrass fish, Chinese steamed whole fish with ginger and scallions.
Production Method
Biodynamic viticulture; hand-harvested, low yields. Whole-cluster pressing, native-yeast fermentation and élevage in oak barrels (limited new oak), then bottled after extended aging.
Vineyard Info
Produced by Lalou Bize‑Leroy's Domaine d'Auvenay from a tiny 0.33 ha Sous Chatelet parcel. Small, biodynamic domaine known for extremely low yields and highly collectible, terroir-driven wines.
