Tasting Notes: The color is pale golden, with brilliant green-gold highlights. The nose is generous

with two dominant characteristics, floral and fruity. On the palate the wine is supple, with a

persistence characterized by a nervous freshness. Aligoté is sometimes known as the “other white

grape” of Burgundy. Its most famous use is that of the base of a kir cocktail, which is commonplace

in the bistros and cafés of Beaune. It is rare to see very old vines of Aligoté such as Amiot’s. The

combination of old vines and a touch of oak yields a complex, refreshing white Burgundy in its own

right - no cassis necessary.
