OUR STORY
Almost Like Burgundy (ALB) sparks from my passion enjoying and tasting wines from all over the world. However, it was my love for wines from Burgundy that made me dive deeper into understanding how beautifully elegant, complex and unique wine can be depending on terroir, wine-making styles, grape varietals and taste profiles that makes a bottle of wine great.
And in this journey, I have discovered there are great wines that resembles the complexity and elegance like Burgundy from all over the world and of course the fine Burgundy wines that need to be shared and enjoyed by more wine lovers.

WHAT DO WE CONSIDER WHEN WE SHORTLIST WINES?

As you enjoy the wine, separating great wines from average ones would depend on its complex taste profiles that unwind on your palate.
Terroir
Grape vines draw minerality from the soil, and mature differently with each climate and altitude, and terrain. This makes every vineyard unique and wines from certain vineyards would have the same aroma and taste profile due to its common minerality structure.
