The 2018 Bourgogne Aligoté from Anne Boisson is showing nicely mingling aromas of apples and pears with hints of white flowers. Medium-bodied bright and fleshy it's lively and charming. Once again the bearded Bernard Boisson presided over my annual tasting in the usual refreshingly old-school manner offering splashes from a variety of bottles some open for several days and some opened for my benefit. As readers will remember Bernard's holdings have been entirely divided between his son Pierre and daughter Anne who work together in the vineyards and cellar since 2017. As I've written before in his day Bernard Boisson was one of the village's latest harvesters; and his wines only spent a year on the lees with much of the production sold to the négociants. With Pierre's arrival at the domaine some 15 years ago that changed dramatically: the domaine has returned as Bernard puts it to do things as they were done in his grandfather's era. That means early harvesting little débourbage long sur-lie élevage ranging from 19 to 22 months and restrained use of new oak?up to 30% largely from Saint-Romain's Tonnellerie Gillet. The entire production is now bottled without filtration. This is a fine address and this first look at the 2018s?as well as some later-released 2017s?revealed wines that are very much in the classic style that followers of these domaines have come to expect.
