The 2022 La Belle Promenade Aligoté offers pronounced aromas of key lime, peach skin, Asian pear, and fresh garden herbs that fill the glass.

Winery Info
FLÂNEUR WINES
Flâneur Wines considers themselves to be flâneurs at their core, passionate artisans joined together by the desire to slow down, observe the world, and create delicious wines. They chose the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley of Oregon for a reason. The climate and environment of the region are unique, with daily fluctuations in temperatures and rainfall. One year is wet and cold, the next is dry and warm. They celebrate the eccentricities and unpredictability of nature, and want our wines to reflect this remarkable terroir. While each vintage retains underlying similarities, they let each year's grapes speak for themselves.

Winemaker Notes
Once prominently planted across Burgundy, Aligoté has yielded its share as other varietals took the stage. Today, the grape is making an exciting resurgence not only in Burgundy but also in the New World. Sourced from our La Belle Promenade Vineyard, our Aligoté expresses a lean, fresh, and vibrant addition to our white wine portfolio.
