Henri Germain, Bourgogne Aligote, 2020 SO041225 Loire Sale with bright acidity still intactDomaine Henri Germain is a tightly held Meursault address now run by Jean Francois Germain, who farms organically with very low yields, hand harvests, and bottles with minimal intervention and little new oak. That serious white Burgundy pedigree carries straight into the humble Aligote, the region's underdog white grape, made here from a parcel in Meursault. The 2020 was a warm, ripe vintage, so this has more flesh than your typical zippy Aligote
