Domaine de La Folie 2023 Aligote Monopole Clos la Folie

The 2023 Clos la Folie Aligoté Monopole is a beautifully pure, terroir-driven white: bright, mineral, and vibrant. Crafted from old vines on limestone, it captures citrus immediacy, saline freshness, and orchard depth without pretension. It’s a standout example of Burgundy's Aligoté—elegant, gastronomic, and immensely drinkable. 🌱 Vineyard & Terroir A true Monopole: Clémence and Baptiste Dubrulle own and farm this single parcel on clay–limestone slopes just below the Domaine’s Clos la Folie Chardonnay vineyard in Chagny—exclusively, adhering to organic/“lutte raisonnée” practices  The Aligoté vines are old (circa 90–100 years), planted on east‑/southeast‑facing soils ensuring vibrant acidity and pure expression  🍾 Vinification Grapes are hand-harvested, then vinified in stainless steel with native yeasts and minimal sulfur.
