2021 Bourgogne Aligoté, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Burgundy World Cup 2026 Concentrated nose

Concentrated nose

Heitz is renowned for crafting Napa Valley’s first “cult” wines

It has a lovely aroma of dark fruit on the nose with a hint of garrigue and minerality that makes me think of an Old-world Syrah

sugared and toasted and even into the syrup-glazed kind found atop spiced confections

and with a prestigious location right next to both Mouton and Lafite

2021 Bourgogne Aligoté, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Burgundy World Cup 2026 Concentrated noseThe Sylvain Cathiard estate produces some of Burgundys most exceptional wines. This is fresh, bright, and textural, with lovely saline notes and intense flavors of lemon and grapefruit zest. The finish is longer than might be expected for an Aligot, and is immensely pleasurable.
