The 10-70-year-old Aligote vines grow in the vineyards on the outskirts of Meursault, where the soils are deeper and more fertile. These soils are unsuitable for Pinot Noir or Chardonnay but an excellent fit for Aligote. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. The wine proceeds with elevage in mainly neutral, older French oak and then concrete egg.
What surprised us the most about the Yves Boyer Martenot Aligote was just how richly structured it was. Much Aligote is very thin: high in acid but low in body and complexity. This Aligote, on the other hand, was juicy and rich, and its structure complemented the lightning-bolt acidity. The Yves-Boyer Martenot Aligote is a perfect aperitif wine but may get you in trouble if you hope to avoid drinking too much, as it is very crushable.
