Guilbert Gillet Bourgogne Aligote Les Grands Champs VV 2020

Guilbert Gillet Bourgogne Aligoté Les Grands Champs VV 2020 is a characterful white Burgundy made from old Aligoté vines. The “VV” designation refers to vieilles vignes, while Les Grands Champs identifies the vineyard site, offering a more distinctive and structured expression than everyday Aligoté. A traditional Burgundian variety, Aligoté is valued for its freshness, subtle minerality and ability to produce elegant, food-friendly wines.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale in appearance, the wine is likely to show the clean, lifted profile associated with Burgundy Aligoté. Aromas of citrus, green apple and white flowers may be complemented by delicate herbal and mineral nuances. On the palate, expect lively acidity with flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and a lightly saline, stony finish. The old vines can lend additional concentration and texture, while the 2020 vintage may bring a pleasing balance of ripeness and freshness. It is best enjoyed in its youth for its energy, though well-made Aligoté can develop further complexity over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Burgundy from old Aligoté vines in the Les Grands Champs site, this wine reflects the grape’s natural affinity for the region’s limestone-rich soils and cool continental climate. The specific harvesting and vinification details are not provided, but the style is expected to focus on preserving Aligoté’s freshness and mineral character through careful pressing and restrained maturation.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its bright acidity makes it an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, sushi, goat’s cheese, fresh salads and light fish dishes, while its texture can also complement poultry in a creamy sauce. Decanting is generally unnecessary; simply open shortly before serving and allow the wine a little time in the glass to reveal its aromas.
