Bourgogne Aligoté

Location

The Bourgogne Aligoté is a traditional regional appellation. It was granted its own AOC in 1937. It is produced throughout the Burgundy region (Côte d'or, Yonne, Saône et Loire). Our Bourgogne Aligoté is grown in the area of Puligny-Montrachet.

Character of the wine

The Bourgogne Aligoté is a still dry white wine with a pale golden colour and a well-balanced taste. It ranges from a fruity bouquet to a more floral palette. This vibrant wine offers a nice freshness and is easy to drink..

Serving suggestions

The Bourgogne Aligoté is a perfect match for grilled fish. Its livelyness and citrus notes stand up well to the saltyness of oysters.
In summer it pleasantly accompanies raw vegetables, salads and grilled meats. It is a light and fruity wine and can equally be enjoyed without food. As an appetizer, it can be mixed with „Cassis de Dijon” and it turns into the famous „Kir”, named after its inventor Chamoine Kir, former deputy major of Dijon.
