Hervé is dedicated to a micro-négoce specializing in old parcels, while Stéphane, who  has been heading the estate since 2017, focuses on affordable Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits. Here, the latter offers us a lively Aligoté with lemony notes that also provides green apple, finishing with a delicate minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a regional appellation that mentions the grape variety (the only one to do so), one should keep in mind that Aligoté transforms depending on the zones where it is grown. Some will be dry and sharp to the point of begging for cassis, others will be distinctive (Bouzeron) and round. But even though the grape variety is naturally not very expressive, the pursuit of terroir will bring a unique identity to every house that takes the trouble to do things well.
