Gouffier Cuvée Aquaviva Bourgogne Aligoté 2022
A Distinctive Orange Wine from the Heart of Burgundy
Crafted from 100% Aligoté grapes, the Gouffier Cuvée Aquaviva Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 is a vibrant and expressive orange wine that captures the modern energy of Burgundy winemaking. Produced by respected winemaker Frédéric Gueugneau, this dry white wine boasts a delicate amber hue, created through extended skin contact, adding structure and complexity.
Expect an inviting bouquet of stone fruits, candied citrus peel, and mineral notes, followed by a fresh, textured palate with a lingering finish. Fermented and aged with minimal intervention, this wine embodies an organic philosophy (though not certified), making it vegan-friendly and suitable for vegetarians.

| Winery | The grapes are exclusively from the single vineyard of ‘Saint Jacques’ in the Rully appellation, the most northern village in the Côte Chalonnaise. Saint Jacques was one of the first-named plots or ‘lieu-dit’ in Rully, which has become renowned for its high quality. The grapes are grown in mainly clay and limestone soils, producing round and appealing wines. The vineyard is managed with respect for the unique attributes of each site’s terroir and is farmed sustainably and organically, although it is not certified. Some biodynamic philosophies are also followed. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted before vinification. |
