Grape varietals

The Aligoté is the only grape variety in the Bourgogne Aligoté wines.

Origins

The area of the Bourgogne Aligoté appellation is entwined with that of the Bourgogne appellation.

It spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône et Loire, and Rhône departments. Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne Aligoté wines stem from very diverse terroirs.

This appellation is produced with a single grape variety, the Aligoté, known in Burgundy since the 17th century. This unique grape variety is not very common in the rest of the world; it covers 1500 hectares in Burgundy.

Tasting notes

Colour: golden green color.
Nose: finesse and fruit (green apple), with a few complementary hints of acidity.
Palate: the pleasant acidity and nice fruitiness mix together perfectly. A duo that brings freshness and firmness. A well balanced wine with a long finish.

Food and wine pairing

This wine will be the ideal accompaniment to a plate of seafood,  as well as sushi and sashimi .  It also pairs well with a tsukemono, asparagus in cream sauce, avocado purée, a plate of cured meats,  spinach in cream, fried or grilled fish, and with a Comté cheese. Also excellent as an apéritif, served with a splash of Cassis liquor – this famous drink is called the « Kir ».   

Serving suggestions

Serve at a temperature around 11-12°C.

Ageing potential

Enjoy this wine while it is young, in its first year, in order to take advantage of all of its freshness. It can also be kept in the cellar for two or three years in optimal conditions.
