Chantereves Bourgogne Aligote Mainbey 2022

I had the pleasure to meet and taste with Tomoko, one half of the wife and husband team that own and run this small but mighty domaine at La Paulee NYC. I talked with her about the wines they make and the special care and attention they pay in the vineyards they work. That hard work in the vineyard clearly yields exceptional fruit that is the foundation for their very attention worthy wines.

Mainbey is the biggest lieu-dit of the domaine, divided into three Chardonnay parcels and one Aligoté parcel that makes this wine.
