Bastian Wolber Bourgogne Aligoté Les Fas 2023 is a precise, mineral-driven white Burgundy that shows Aligoté at its most refined and characterful. It offers freshness, tension and a distinctly artisanal sense of style, making it a compelling choice for buyers looking beyond the usual Chardonnay profile.
Site & Identity
Les Fas gives the wine a clear sense of place and a more serious expression than a simple entry-level Aligoté. The style is focused on purity, energy and terroir expression, with a bright, linear profile that feels both modern and authentically Burgundian. It is the kind of wine that appeals to drinkers who value clarity, texture and individuality.
Technical Tasting Note
-
Appearance: Pale straw with a bright, youthful sheen.
-
Nose: Citrus peel, green apple, white flowers, pear, subtle herbs and a stony mineral note.
-
Palate: Dry and lively, with brisk acidity, a lean but textured mid-palate, and crisp orchard fruit held together by saline freshness.
-
Finish: Clean, energetic and mouthwatering, with a chalky, mineral close and a subtle citrus echo.
Winemaking & Style
Aligoté from Les Fas is best understood as a tension-driven white with a strong sense of precision rather than overt weight. The 2023 vintage should feel fresh and expressive, with enough texture to give the wine substance while keeping the finish sharp and focused. It is a strong fit for customers looking for a serious, terroir-led alternative to more common Burgundy whites.
Food Pairing
Excellent with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, goat’s cheese, salads, sushi and light vegetable dishes. It also works beautifully as an aperitif or with clean, citrus-forward cuisine.
