Domaine Borgeot Aligoté - Bourgogne Aligoté - White - 2022 :

 

Domaine Borgeot: The Definitive Bourgogne Aligoté

This Bourgogne Aligoté from Domaine Borgeot stands as a superb example of the appellation's rising quality. Often overshadowed by Chardonnay, the Aligoté grape is given star treatment here, resulting in a white wine of remarkable focus and minerality. The Borgeot family’s meticulous viticulture, involving well-sited parcels in the Côte de Beaune, ensures a bottling that is far more complex than its Regional appellation status suggests. It’s an authentic taste of Burgundy's renewed appreciation for Aligoté.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Clear, pale straw gold with a bright sheen.
• Aroma: Distinctly aromatic, presenting a bouquet of fresh lemon, Granny Smith apple, and delicate floral hints. The classic Burgundian minerality provides a backbone of sophistication.
• Palate: Expect a wonderfully crisp and energetic palate. The refreshing acidity is the hallmark of this wine, delivering clean, zesty fruit flavours and a persistent, dry finish with a pleasant, saline edge.

Food Pairing & Serving

Best served cool (11-12°C). This is a wine built for the table. Beyond the classic Kir aperitif, pair it with light seafood starters, fresh shellfish, or traditional French bistro fare. Its high acidity cuts beautifully through rich textures and complements salty dishes.
