90 William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Impacted by the spring frosts, the 2019 Aligoté Le Jardin de la Côte was cropped at a derisory nine hectoliters per hectare and attained an unprecedented 13.5% natural alcohol. Since only one barrel was produced, it won't be easy to find, but it has turned out very well, bursting with aromas of pear, honeyed peaches and mint. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, it's exotic and fleshy, with lively acids and a saline finish.
