Etienne de Montille – with whom I tasted these wines in the absence of his sister, who is responsible for their vinification – volunteered that their 2007 Beaune Aigrots represents "the first time that Alix feels the potential of this terroir," which they only acquired in 2005. Licorice and apple pit lend a bitter-sweet cast to citrus and chalk foundations. Texturally rather spare, though with a touch of oiliness, this highly distinctive wild child of a white Burgundy finishes refreshingly, penetratingly, and with palpable mineral extract.
