Tasting Notes
The 2022 La Belle Promenade Aligoté offers pronounced aromas of key lime, peach skin, Asian pear, and fresh garden herbs that fill the glass. Flavors mirror the aroma with added layers of citrus zest, young papaya and elderflower. A firm backbone of acidity creates a fresh and clean zippiness married with an intriguing sweet tart texture. This wine is a unique addition to the Flâneur Wines portfolio offering a bright and vibrant personality to the collection.

It sits on top of volcanic soils, with the western portion of the site consisting of a thick layer of fractured basalt. Due in part to its high elevation, this site allows for great diversity in concert with our other estate vineyard, Flanerie.
