{"product_id":"bourgogne-aligote-guichard-potheret-1989","title":"Côte Chalonnaise Guichard-Potheret 1989","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis white wine is produced by Guichard-Potheret, a négociant-éleveur based in the Côte Chalonnaise area of Burgundy, eastern France. The Burgundy region was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs. While the region is globally recognized for cultivating almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it also has a tradition of working with other local varieties under its fine-meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the characteristic limestone soil forms the foundation of the region's viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made entirely from Aligoté, a traditional Burgundy grape variety. Although often considered a secondary grape in the region compared to the famous Chardonnay, Aligoté holds its own dedicated classification and is known to yield excellent results in favorable years. This specific release is classified under the Appellation Bourgogne-Aligoté Contrôlée. The Côte Chalonnaise area serves as the home for Guichard-Potheret and is particularly noted for its work with this grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1989 vintage in this region is characterized as full-bodied, warm, and well-balanced, achieving a score of 94 points. Bottled by the producer at 12.5% alcohol in a standard 75 cl format, this wine represents a specific historical expression of the Côte Chalonnaise terroir from that year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guichard-Potheret","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57140615184710,"sku":null,"price":62.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-720_db8717e5-d872-488d-9f28-bb49682041c7.jpg?v=1786958259","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/bourgogne-aligote-guichard-potheret-1989","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
