[...] The Aligoté by Lignier was pretty darn special too. [...]

Hi John,

not sure if Will will see this but thanks for the comment nonetheless.

You can catch Will over on his own site, Irish wine contemplations

I still remember this Aligoté, Burgundy’s forgotten white grape, as being particularly good

Hi will,
I am the agent for Domaine LIgnier in Ireland and the reason why it seems very expensive for an Aligote is due to the fact that it is very rare ( only 5 cases of this wine arrive in Ireland each vintage but also because it is vinified by Hubert Lignier who is considered ” a superstar of the cotes de nuits ” by Serena Sutcliffe M.W. and rated by Robert Parker as one of the 10 greatest producers in Burgundy. So Will your Coche-Dury comment is spot on p.s. the 2005 vintage of this amazing Aligote is available at enowine

Lar,

22 Euro is very very expensive for an Aligote. Normally these wines retail in the under 10 euro price range (unless it’s Coche Dury or something like that). Sounds like a very tasty aligote though.
