Wine Grapes from A to Z

Aligoté


A wine whose main purpose in life is to be fodder for Kir, well, then a sorry life it is. I vaguely remember my enamel being burned off my teeth as I sipped a p’tit ver d’enfer, bien sûr. So let the French in your life take care of all those pesky details, stick with what you know. It has the distinction of being Burgundy’s second white grape behind the much more profitable chardonnay. Bouzeron, proud little city that it is, champions the cause of Aligoté and thus has strict limits on production. Cheers, to them.

Sorry, nothing to recommend.
