Bourgogne Aligoté
The Vineyard
The Bourgogne Aligoté is made entirely from the Aligoté grape. Our parcels of Bourgogne Aligoté are located mainly between Buxy and Saint-Gengoux-le-National, at thebottom of the hills. The soil is often covered with scree and rock, which allow the grapes to achieve full maturity. The grapes are grown in calcareous soil of the Côte Chalonnaise
Aging Process
The making of Bourgogne Aligoté takes place entirely in stainless steel vats so as to preserve its freshness and liveliness.
