Aligote

‘Aligoté’ is a white grape variety originating from Burgundy, France. Although it often remains in the shadow of the famous ‘Chardonnay’, this grape is increasingly being rediscovered by both winemakers and wine lovers. It shows its finest expression in the Bouzeron appellation, the only appellation in Burgundy dedicated exclusively to ‘Aligoté’. Beyond France, the variety is also successfully cultivated in Portugal, where the warmer climate allows for a more pronounced fruit character while preserving its natural freshness.

‘Aligoté’ wines are fresh, light- to medium-bodied, and marked by vibrant acidity. Their aromatic profile typically features citrus fruits, apples, pears, white fruit notes, and subtle hints of herbs and minerality.
