BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉRegional appellation of Burgundy. The appellation BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉ is restricted to white wines grown from the Aligoté grape anywhere within Burgundy. Producing communes : Department of Yonne : 54 communes. Department of Côte-d’Or : 91 communes. Department of Saône-et-Loire : 154 communes. Bourgogne Aligoté is a white wine, fresh as a spring breeze. It is companionable, a touch impertinent, well-fruited, and pale gold in colour. Its bouquet is of flowers (hawthorn, acacia) or fruit (apple). In the mouth this tender, melting wine tickles the taste buds and finishes on notes of hazelnut.The Aligoté grape has been known in Burgundy since the 17th century. It does marvelously well here. Whether grown in the Saône-et-Loire, the Côte-d’Or or in the Yonne, it faithfully reflects the diversity of its « terroirs ». Official granting of the AOC BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉ dates back to 1937. Wines made from this grape at Bouzeron in the Côte Chalonnaise are entitled to the communal appellation BOUZERON. Though planted in widely diverse wine-growing districts, the Aligoté is generally found on soils with a limestone base, often combined with marls or clays. Burgundy's Aligoté is also well-suited to hilly locations and higher altitudes. White wines exclusively - Aligoté. The Aligoté accounts for 6% of total plantings in Burgundy and has a long history here. It is a rather vigorous white grape. Its berries are larger and more numerous than those of the Chardonnay. The wines made from it do not carry the name of their village, with the sole exception of BOUZERON though that too is entitled to the appellation BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉ. Area under production: 1,698.41 ha approx.  Appellation wines list
