Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Les Aigrots 2020 Blanc [BH 90]

Alan Meadows - Burghound A discreet application of wood sets off ripe and fresh aromas of poached pear, just sliced green apple and lemon-lime nuances that are picked up by the rich and voluminous medium-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the clean, dry and sneaky long finish. This too could use a bit more depth but it's already more complex plus it's a bit more tightly wound. Even so, this refreshing effort could also be enjoyed young without leaving too much potential on the table. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 90 points. Also a lemon and lime colour, with a little more flesh than the Bataillère. Light fennel and mineral too, with medium plus weight, and an attractive long finish, with nicely judged body. Pleasing and able to age. Tasted: February 2022 Organic. Next to the famous Clos des Mouches, in the middle of the hillside, our Aigrots are oriented to the East. This climat, with stony ground and rich in silt and clay, produces rich white wines with mineral tones (25 acres).
