The Aligoté from ancient vines at Lafarge is always a delight; the 2022 vintage is near the top of the range, with marvellous concentration and a fragrant aroma of gooseberry, green apple, and tarragon.  The wine has abundant fresh acidity, but at the same time, there is impressive ripeness.  Lafarge picked on 17 September.  After fermentation on native yeasts, half in old barrels, half in concrete, it is finishing its maturation in large neutral oak uprights.  This wine will drink on release and will continue improving for a decade if one has the patience to wait.
