Bourgogne Aligoté 2019 is a white wine from the Burgundy region in France. The wine is made from the Aligoté grape variety, which is known for its crisp and refreshing character.
All hand picked. The lactic acid fermentation is completed in stainless steel fermentation tanks, and the temperature is strictly controlled throughout the process. Bottled immediately after vinification to preserve as much as possible the characteristic fruitiness and freshness of Aligoté.
The quality of the 2019 Aligoté is excellent, with very healthy and full-ripe grapes, but the yield is only half of that of previous years. This year's Aligoté is full-bodied and full-bodied, with a high degree of roundness and fullness in the mouth. The typical lemon aroma of this grape variety and the characteristic clay limestone soil of Chitry Village are fully expressed in this wine.
It is suitable for all kinds of seafood, cured meat products, snails and other French appetizers. Of course, don’t forget to use Aligoté wine to make a classic Burgundy Kir Bourguignon.
