Alice and Olivier De Moor - Bourgogne Aligoté 2022
Domaine Alice et Olivier De Moor is located in Courgis , in Burgundy . Alice is originally from the Jura and met Olivier in a large estate in Chablis where he was in charge of the vines. They both have degrees in oenology, and with their knowledge, they began their field by planting three plots of Chablis in 1989, while still employed elsewhere. From 1995, they devoted themselves entirely to their 4 hectares of vines, which they expanded in 1996 by purchasing a large plot in Chitry. Alice and Olivier De Moor have been working their vines organically since 2005. In 2002, they replaced the large harvest bins with small boxes where the grapes were not crushed by their own weight. In 2007, they built a large winery with high ceilings, allowing them to do all their cellar work by gravity. In 2008, they purchased a second-hand pneumatic press to process the grapes as gently as possible. There is no sulfur used during the harvest or during winemaking. Since 2009, Alice and Olivier de Moor have also created a trading activity “Le Vendangeur Masqué”.
Aligoté comes from two plots of 2.5 hectares in Chitry . The grapes are gently pressed then fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts, in stainless steel vats. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation and is aged on lees without stirring in enameled steel vats.
Grape variety: 100% Aligoté
