Bourgogne Aligoté 'La Vigne du Professeur Feuillat', Edouard Delaunay, 2023 - Exclusive Barrel

For our latest Club Exclusive we've teamed up again with our dear friend Laurent at Maison Edouard Delaunay to bring you a sumptuous single vineyard 2023 Aligoté. A grape variety that is truly enjoying its time in the limelight (or sunlight), we were so smitten with the 2023 whilst tasting in Burgundy that we bought the entire production on the spot for Club Members - a mere 50 cases!

We've loved every vintage of this, as have critics such as Tim Atkin and French publication Bettane & Desseauve, the latter characterising the wine as “a thousand times more interesting than the mediocre famous villages". Under the wing of new winemaker Capucine Haroun, we feel the 2023 is the best yet, with more precision and tension. It's an exceptional, fascinating white Burgundy and represents cracking value too.

"A tribute to Laurent Delaunay's viticulture professor, this Aligoté offers floral aromas and citrus notes. It’s crisp, fresh, and beautifully balanced with a nice minerality and a touch of salinity on the finish. Aligoté’s energy and raciness make it a very drinkable wine, distinct from Chardonnay."
