Domaine Vincent Wengier Bourgogne Aligoté 2022
Vincent Wengier is a fourth-generation Chablis winemaker who, along with his wife, Sophie, has produced wine under his name since 2018. Domaine Vincent Wengier was first established in 1950 and is located in the southwest region of the appellation, in the village of Préhy, two hours southeast of Paris and the only commune in the Chablis region to have a Burgundy appellation.
The Wengiers manage 27 hectares of vines, spread over four appellations. They hold HVE (High Environmental Value) certification to promote fauna and flora within the vineyard. Their careful attention to detail in the vineyards has also earned them organic certification, effective in 2023.
The vineyard’s soil is Kimmeridgian, which is a defining feature of the Chablis appellation. Kimmeridgian marl is a mix of limestone and clay in which fossilized creatures of an ancient sea are embedded.
Tasting notes
This 2022 Aligote is bright, light gold in color with a nose of lime and wildflowers. A straightforward approach to the grape variety Aligote. Freshness, tone, clean and crunchy fruit, a real delicacy. Salivating iodized finish. Alluring youthfulness.
