100% Aligoté.

This fresh wine goes perfectly with grilled fish, seafood, cold meats and goat's cheese. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif, either neat or with 1/5 of crème de Cassis de Bourgogne to make the famous Kir.

Serve ideally between 10 and 12°C / 50-54°F.

Can be kept from 3 to 4 years, but the freshness of the Aligoté grapes is best appreciated while still young.

The Bourgogne Aligoté regional appellation represents exclusively white wines made from the Aligoté grape variety, with grapes harvested throughout the Bourgogne appellation area.

Known in Burgundy since the 17th century, Aligoté is an original grape variety that is not widely grown anywhere else in the world. It covers around 1,590 hectares of vineyards throughout the region, from the Yonne in the north to the Rhône in the south, via the Côte d'Or and the Saône et Loire (Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais).

Aligoté is a very well-known grape variety in Burgundy, and for a long time it was only associated with its use in making Kir (an equally famous drink made from Burgundy aligoté and crème de cassis, our region's blackcurrant liqueur). But this variety is increasingly seen as a quality grape and treated as such (low yields, vinification in oak barrels, etc.).

After moderate pressing, the musts collected under the press are settled and then fermented in temperature-controlled vats (16-18°C) to retain all the freshness and tension of the grape variety. Fermentation takes place using selected yeasts. The wine is then matured in stainless steel vats for 6 to 8 months on its lees.
