Aligoté - Burgundy's "Other" White
.
The Aligoté varietal first emerged in the Bourgogne winegrowing region in the 17th century, and is the result of a cross between Gouais Blanc and Pinot Noir. It also shares its origins with Chardonnay. Of the 2,000 hectares planted in France, more than 1,800 are in the Bourgogne winegrowing region, from the Chablis region to the Mâconnais.
For a long time, the Aligoté grape suffered from being compared to Chardonnay. It flourished on the best hillsides, producing bigger, more plentiful grapes than the Chardonnay varietal.
Bourgogne Aligoté first catches the eye with its pale yellow color with hints of gold. On the nose, it offers a range of delicious aromas of white-fleshed fruit, white blossom, peach, lemon, linden, acacia, hazelnut, green apple, and sometimes even citrus. On the tongue, it is always remarkably fresh, with hints of saline and a fruity acidity that ensures good length.

Bourgogne Aligoté Domaine Pierre Morey 2017
The average year of planting here was an extremely respectable 1969, making this an old vine Aligoté. It comes from 1.86 hectares of domaine-owned vines in Meursault and tends to have excellent ageing potential, for those who can wait… Bright acidity and crunchy citrus and orchard fruit, this is zippy and precise.

Bourgogne Aligoté Domaine Francois Carillon 2016
Very clear, pale green gold in colour, this is very mineral and fresh, with notes of lime zest and green apple. Similar aromatics come through on the palate which is vibrant and energetic, with white flower purity and the richness of old vine fruit in evidence on the focused finish.
