Description
Founded in 1849 in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Doudet-Naudin is one of Burgundy’s oldest and most respected Maisons. Acquired by the Doudet family in 1933, the house has grown steadily while holding fast to its founding values: respect for tradition and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Today, under the stewardship of Christophe Rochet, the Maison continues to honor that legacy while evolving with care.
The Naudin Père et Fils Bourgogne Aligôté 2023 is sourced from limestone-rich soils within the regional Bourgogne appellation — a terroir that lends the Aligôté grape a finer, more mineral character than many of its counterparts. Grapes are harvested mechanically, pressed with a pneumatic press, and vinified under controlled temperatures in stainless steel, then matured for nine months in cool cellars to preserve freshness and precision.
As Chablis prices climb beyond everyday reach, a well-made Aligôté like this one is a genuine find: bone dry, crisply chiseled, and built for the table.
Professional Review
Bart Hopkins, 67Wine: Bone dry and nicely chiseled with flavors of Granny Smith apple and tangy lemon, chalk-like minerality, and steely acidity on the palate-cleansing finish. A great aperitif and perfect for seafood salad and shellfish.
