Discover the Cult Status of CACHEUX RENE Aligoté

Forget the Kir-the CACHEUX RENE BOURGOGNE ALIGOTE BLANC is Burgundy’s rising star, offering a thrillingly crisp alternative to Chardonnay. This exquisite dry white from Domaine Cacheux René showcases the Aligoté grape in its purest, most invigorating form, reflecting the dedication of the new generation of 'Aligoteurs'.

Sommelier’s Notes: Flavour & Finish

A brilliant pale-gold hue, the wine offers a vibrant bouquet of lemon peel, grapefruit, and a pronounced, flinty minerality. On the palate, the wine is laser-focused and taut. Its high natural acidity is the backbone, carrying intense flavors of green fruit and a refreshing, almost saline edge. This is a lean, clean, and utterly refreshing white, perfect for those who appreciate tension and finesse over richness.

Food Pairing & Service
