Tasting notes
A pale yellow colour, the Burgundy Aligote reveals a very aromatic nose of
fresh almonds and quince. This balanced and straight wine has a lovely mineral taste on the finish.

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.
