Vincent Giraudon “Primavera” Aligoté - Côte Roannaise, Loire
A bright, lively expression of Aligoté from the granite-rich hills of the Côte Roannaise, Vincent Giraudon’s Primaveracaptures the freshness and vibrancy that define this rising Loire appellation. Made with the same meticulous, low-intervention approach he brings to his Gamays, this is Aligoté with real lift, texture, and charm.
The nose is crisp and inviting, with lemon zest, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle herbal edge. On the palate, Primavera is zesty and refined: medium-light in body with buzzing acidity, a touch of salinity, and a clean mineral finish that speaks to its hillside origins. It’s refreshing without being simple - bright, precise, and quietly distinctive.
