Tasting notes
This beautiful Bourgogne Aligoté has a bright and pale yellow color with green hues. Its nose reveals notes of lemon and fresh almond. Round on the palate, it unveils citrus aromas followed by almond notes. The elegant finish is mineral, crisp and very nicely balanced.
Description
The Aligote is the traditional white grape of Burgundy. It gained historical note in the 1940s
when the then Mayor of Dijon, Canon Felix Kir, expressed such a liking for Aligote mixed with
a measure of crème de cassis that it was named after him.
