Description

Overview & Provenance

The 2017 Domaine d’Auvenay Sous Chatelet Bourgogne Aligoté is widely considered the greatest dry white Aligoté produced anywhere on Earth. Lalou Bize-Leroy crafts this legendary cult wine from her biodynamic estate in Saint-Romain with uncompromising standards. As a result, this bottle redefines the Aligoté grape with sheer concentration, electric tension, and grand cru-level power.

The 2017 vintage across Burgundy yielded whites of crystalline purity, luminous fruit, and laser-sharp acidity. In addition, Mme Leroy’s ultra-low yields and extended barrel maturation create unimaginable depth and dry extract. Therefore, this wine rivals the greatest Grand Cru Montrachets in both structure and intensity.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, the nose explodes with aromas of white peach, Meyer lemon curd, and white flower blossoms. Soon after, hallmark reduction, toasted sesame, crushed flint, and smoked sea salt take over.
Palate: In addition, the palate strikes with staggering power, dry extract, and electric acidity. Intense citrus oil, green apple, and chalky minerals coat the palate through a searing, minutes-long finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, pour at cellar temperature (52°F–56°F / 11°C–13°C), avoiding over-chilling. Next, decant for 45 to 60 minutes in broad stemware to let its reductive complexity breathe.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its massive mineral drive and mouthwatering acidity, this wine pairs best with high-end seafood:

Pan-seared turbot with brown butter and capers
Poached Breton lobster with citrus emulsion
Pan-roasted sea scallops with shaved white truffle
Uni (sea urchin) pasta or wild king crab legs

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential

Domaine d’Auvenay bottlings are among the rarest and most expensive white wines on the global secondary market. Although magnificent now with proper aeration, the 2017 Sous Chatelet will develop deeper savory complexity through 2045+.
