Aligoté is a white grape variety grown primarily in Burgundy, France. It is renowned for its crisp, acidic, and mineral-driven wines.

The Aligoté grape has a pale yellow hue, with aromas of white flowers, green apples, and citrus fruits. On the palate, the wines are light-bodied with a crisp, zesty acidity, and a mineral-driven finish.

Aligoté is the second most widely planted white variety of Burgundy, after Chardonnay. It is also grown in the neighbouring regions of Savoie, Jura, and the Loire Valley. Aligoté is a hardy variety and can withstand cold temperatures. The wines are typically fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving their crisp and fresh character. Aligoté wines from Burgundy are known for their vibrant acidity and minerality. In the Loire Valley, the wines are slightly more full-bodied with a citrus fruit character. Aligoté wines pair well with light fish and seafood dishes, as well as salads and white meats.

Aligoté is the grape variety used to make the famous Kir cocktail, a mix of white wine and crème de cassis.
