Burgundy Aligoté J. Thorin 1966
The 1966 Bourgogne Aligoté is an 11.5% alcohol white wine produced by J. Thorin, an estate founded in 1843. Presented in a 720ml bottle under the name Reserve des Bvrgondes, this specific release was distributed by the Italian importer C.R.E.I - Orsini Torino. It holds the Appellation Contrôlée classification and is crafted exclusively from Aligoté, one of the oldest traditional grape varieties in the region.
The wine originates from Bourgogne in eastern France, a region historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs. While Burgundy is predominantly known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it has elevated terroir to an art form through its intricate system of climats. Stretching from Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the region's classic viticultural soils are heavily characterized by limestone, marl, and clay.
Bourgogne Aligoté is a regional Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) officially established in 1937. It covers a vast geographical area spanning the departments of Côte-d'Or, Yonne, Saône-et-Loire, and Rhône. The climate here is continental, marked by warm summers and cold winters. Unlike most other white wine appellations in Burgundy that are dominated by Chardonnay, this specific AOC was created entirely to highlight the Aligoté grape. Historically, wines from this appellation have served as a regional alternative to Burgundy's more geographically restricted village and cru classifications.
The history of the wine

Burgundy in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the limestone soil yields some of the world's most sought-after and elegant wines.
