This Aligoté Vieilles Vignes comes from a plot planted in 1933 in the Lieu-dit Loigny in Saint-Bris-le-Vineux. Due to the very old age of the vineyard, an Aligoté of exceptional depth and aging potential grows here.
Unlike usual, this Aligote is not only suitable for direct drinking but should definitely not be used for Kir.
Originally, Aligote was always used in Kir. Nowadays, it is no longer common and in any case a waste for this wine.

Clotilde Davenne
Clotilde Davenne is one of the most dynamic winemakers in Burgundy and many already call her the new Grande Dame of Chablis. For 17 years she worked as a winemaker at the renowned Domaine Brocard. There she earned an outstanding reputation. In 2004 she produced her first own wine at her Domaine Les Temps Perdus, which is located in Préhy, 7.5 km southwest of Chablis, and today covers 23 hectares. In addition to the great Chablis, her love also extends to lesser-known appellations, such as the Yonne. She is particularly proud of vineyards in Saint-Bris and Irancy, where she has exceptionally old vines. Here she owns parcels with vines over 115 years old of Sauvignon blanc and 85 years old Aligoté.
