2022 Maison C. Thiriet "Du Jardin" Bourgogne Aligoté

This is not your average Aligoté. Produced by Camille Thiriet and her partner Matt Chittick, the "Du Jardin" cuvée is crafted with a meticulous, artisanal approach that mimics Grand Cru winemaking. The name "Du Jardin" (From the Garden) refers to a small, 90-year-old parcel of vines located right next to their winery in Corgoloin, which they treat with the care of a private garden.

Highlights

• Vintage: 2022

• Region/Appellation: Bourgogne Aligoté AOC, Burgundy, France

• Producer: Maison Camille Thiriet (C. Thiriet)

• Grape: 100% Aligoté (specifically Aligoté Doré, a superior, golden-berried clone)

• Style: Dry, textural, and "serious." It combines the high-energy tension of Aligoté with a silky, medium-to-full body and a long, powdery mineral finish.

• Perfect for: Roasted poultry with herbs, oily fish (like salmon or monkfish), or creamy French cheeses like Delice de Bourgogne. It is a "sommelier’s favorite" and a perfect choice for those who love high-quality White Burgundy but want to explore beyond Chardonnay.

Quick Note: Look at the small red text on the label—it mentions this is a "Tirage Limité" (Limited Release), with only 4,437 bottles produced. This makes it a rare find for any cellar.
