The Wine
This wine is beautifully soft yet crisp, with the delicate, teasing character Aligote is famous for. Bright and fresh from the 2023 vintage, it boasts lovely acidity, crispness, and a refined balance. The fruit expression is not only attractive but also shows impressive complexity. Aged entirely in tank, this 2023 vintage is nicely concentrated and offers excellent value in the world of 'grower' Burgundy!
89 Pts (4 Stars) Jasper Morris MW ‘A little more colour than some. Beautifully perfumed, classic yet very well made. There is plenty of energy to the fruit, especially on the attack, white fruit behind, a little youthful bitterness, fine length. Drink from 2025-2027.'

Catherine and Claude Maréchal have been stand outs in Burgundy thanks to the precise, elegant and finely scented wines they produce from their small holdings scattered on six Côte de Beaune communes. Claude began the domaine in 1981 and in the mid 1980’s he met Henri Jayer (The ‘Godfather of Burgundy: 1922-2006), who became a huge source of inspiration and learning. Since then Maréchal has, year after year, honed his skills and today offers incredibly fine wine, among the greats in Burgundy. These wines offer everything one wants in Burgundy but that is so hard to find - admirable concentration, purity and finesse combined with texture and balance that will see these wines evolve over many years. Claude's wines are not expensive for top level Burgundy, something very rare these days. We have stocked every Vintage release of the Maréchal vins since coming into Oz, which speaks for itself! The quality of these wines is nothing short of phenomenal compared to the usual quality of the respective appellations’
