For many years associated with the aperitif named Kir, Bourgogne Aligoté now asserts the qualities of its flavours and shines alone! Made with Aligoté, worthily representing 6% of all grape varieties planted in the Burgundy area, it highlights this type of grape that is making its comeback thanks to winegrowers efforts to restrict its yields. Vines are generally planted in piedmont slopes, but the characteristics and sensations of this wine depend greatly on provenance. Our Burgundy Aligoté comes from vines planted in the village of Auxey-Duresses.
