The 2015 version of the Bourgogne Aligote La Corvees de Bully is a richer and more generous wine. The nose offer more exotic orchard fruits – it’s expressive and rich. On the palate rich yellow fruit – fine mid-palate focus. The acidity is very fine for the vintage – and clearly the old Aligote vines have done well under the somewhat hot climate conditions in 2015. In my view not quite at the same level as the refined 2014 .. but a lovely Aligote in the making.
