Drink or Keep
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, youthful, trendy and slightly 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.
