Bourgogne Aligote

Burgundy, France

In the same way that Gamay is perceived to be the lesser twin of Pinot Noir, Aligoté is generally seen as the lesser twin of Chardonnay. However, Aligoté has a rich history and, when carefully cultivated in the appropriate terroir (typically more elevated sites with more limestone and less clay), can produce expressive, complex and even age-worthy wines.
