Burgundy’s other white grape at its fruitiest

Jancis Robinson suggested that this high-class version of Burgundy’s other white grape was the “d’Angerville wine for wine bars” as it had “quite a rich nose. Juicy and fruity…” In other words this is a wine for drinking and enjoying now.

Food Pairing: Slightly spicy or salty dishes, or even fatty foods, as flavours tend to be softened by the fresh acidity of the wine.

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is one of the most important producers in Burgundy with a long and storied history and a range of top wines, mainly Pinot Noir. Aligote is often described as the ‘other white grape’ of Burgundy, a poor relation to Chardonnay’s rich pedigree. But this biodynamic domaine treats all its wines with care and attention. This Aligote is a good example of this philosophy.
