Aligoté, otherwise known as the “third’ or ‘other’ grape of Burgundy, behind the more prestigious Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, makes up a small amount of Burgundy production.  While it may lack household name recognition, Bourgogne Aligoté quality continues to rise, thanks to producers like Jérôme Galeyrand.  It’s also typically more reasonably priced than its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir counterparts.  From clay and limestone rich soils in both the Côte-d’Or and further south in the Côte-Chalonnaise, this Aligoté is ripe and round, green, zesty, fresh, and dry.

100% Aligote.
