2021 · Lienhardt Aligote

Antoine Lienhardt is a family-run domaine in Comblanchien, Burgundy, led by fourth-generation winemaker Antoine Lienhardt, who took over in 2011, alongside his sister Hélöise, who manages administration, export, and marketing. The estate has been certified organic by ECOCERT since 2016 and is implementing biodynamic practices, including horse-driven ploughing and work timed to lunar cycles. In the cellar, the approach is firmly minimal intervention, with whole-cluster fermentation, natural yeasts, and wines made without fining, filtration, or added sulfites. The domaine focuses on natural wines from Côte de Nuits appellations, including Côte de Nuits Villages and Grand Cru sites.
