Albert Bichot ‘Champ Renard’ Aligoté

The palate is bright, taut, and mineral‑driven, opening with lemon zest, green apple, and white peach lifted by fresh, high acidity that gives the wine its classic Aligoté tension. Texture is fine, lightly chalky, and subtly creamy, showing gentle lees work without softening the wine’s linear profile. The mid‑palate brings white florals, citrus pith, almond skin, and a clean limestone‑saline thread, adding quiet depth beneath the crisp fruit. The finish is long, dry, and stony, leaving citrus peel, chalk, and cool mineral echoes.
