Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Aligote 2023 750ml

The 2023 vintage of Domaine Sylvain Cathiard’s Bourgogne Aligoté is a rare and refined interpretation of Burgundy’s often-overlooked white grape. Sourced from a small parcel of vines and produced in extremely limited quantities, this wine represents the Cathiard family’s commitment to precision, purity, and terroir-driven winemaking—even in their most humble appellations.
