Burgundy Aligoté
The appellation d'origine contrôlée Bourgogne Aligoté is a regional appellation in Burgundy, reserved for white wines made from the Aligoté grape variety and produced throughout Burgundy. It is found in Saône-et-Loire, Côte-d'Or and Yonne, reflecting the diversity of these terroirs. This grape variety has held the Bourgogne appellation since 1937, except in Bouzeron, Côte Chalonnaise, where it is given the Bouzeron communal appellation.

Aligoté (6% of Burgundy vines) is a very old Burgundy plant. This fairly vigorous white variety produces larger, more numerous grapes than Chardonnay. The terroirs producing Bourgogne Aligoté are varied due to the diversity of the wine-growing areas, with vines planted with this grape variety generally resting on limestone bedrock, often combined with marl and clay. Bourgogne Aligoté is often a hillside wine. A little altitude doesn't go amiss.

Bourgogne Aligoté is a fresh white wine. Its bouquet is floral (acacia, hawthorn) or fruity (apple). On the palate, this soft, flowing wine soothes the taste buds with notes of hazelnut that come through on the finish. Burgundy Aligoté wine lovers will appreciate the quality of the vintages offered by Domaine d'Auvenay, Domaine Olivier Morin and Domaine René Bouvier.

Aligoté is a very old plant and Burgundy's second most important white grape variety. This rather vigorous white grape variety has come back into fashion in recent years, producing a white wine that is gourmand, young, trendy and a little offbeat. Fragrant with floral and citrus notes, it is dressed in pale gold and stimulates the taste buds with its beautiful energy. And it's not just the 60-year-old vines that add elegance and depth.

"A festive and generous Aligoté".

"From two parcels in Chitry that are vinified in vats, the Bourgogne Aligoté 2020 bursts with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, honeysuckle and fresh bread. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, it is textured yet chiseled, concluding with a chalky touch. A real success story. " (Wine Advocate 2021).

"An Aligoté with body!"

"Despite a hint of reduction, it offers lovely sapidity in a dense, lively yet fleshy body." (La Revue du Vin de France - June 2021). This Bourgogne Aligoté is atypical for its appellation. The vines on the outskirts of the village of Meursault range in age from 35 to over 80 years. Aged on lees for several months, the fruit is very present and a pleasant floral bouquet emerges. On the palate, is round and generous, with fleshiness and a light acidity.

Most of the domaine's Aligotés come from the Marsannay appellation, at Le Chapitre: a slope of Comblanchien limestone gravel, accumulated in scree, known locally as "grèzes litées". The old Aligoté vines express themselves admirably here, producing a wine with fruity, fruity aromas reminiscent of crab apples. An ideal bottle for an aperitif!
