WINE DESCRIPTION
Giraudon Bourgogne Aligoté is a refreshing white wine made from the Aligoté grape, a lesser-known variety in Burgundy but one that produces bright, lively wines. This wine is crafted in the heart of Burgundy, where the cool climate and limestone-rich soils contribute to its fresh acidity and mineral-driven character. Aligoté is often overshadowed by Chardonnay in the region, but it offers a unique profile that is versatile and enjoyable, particularly when paired with food.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Giraudon Bourgogne Aligoté displays crisp aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white flowers, with a hint of minerality.On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, featuring vibrant acidity and flavors of citrus and green fruits. The wine’s refreshing nature makes it ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, salads, or light cheeses. It is also a great choice for making the classic French cocktail Kir, which mixes Aligoté with crème de cassis.
