With a lemon peel-like appearance, this wine offers aromas of citrus zest and freshly squeezed grapefruit. The first impression is dynamic and fruity, with a hint of mandarin and gray pepper on the finish that leaves the taste buds tingling. This Aligoté will quench your thirst!
More about this product
Garnier & Fils
Based in Ligny-le-Châtel, the Garnier family own 23 hectars along the slopes edging the valley of the Serein river. Truly a family affair, father Joseph first farmed the land of cows and grains in the late 70’s before planting the first vineyard with son Xavier in 1985. Brother Jérome came on board shortly after and while their father sold the grapes, the two brothers began making their own wine, selling it to restaurants in and around Paris. The domaine now produces 160,000 bottle per year working closely with their small team. While Xavier works the vineyards, Jérôme makes the wines with a maturity and ripeness that intoxicates. Organically farmed and with minimal intervention in both the vineyard and cellar, the brothers harvest later than most to get the right expression of the fruit. Fermenting with natural yeast and ageing the wines in very large barrels, this exciting estate is achieving greatness with its Chablis.

Burgundy
In this area, red wines are produced from one variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually vary in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its small vineyards and it is generally believed that the smaller the area of the vineyard, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of only 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuit to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Cotê de Nuits is in the red wines - 95% of Pinot Noir grapes are produced here. Of course, here are some of the best, able to age, the most exotic and expensive wines. The Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red wine and 2% sparkling wine. The white wine variety is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality varies from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former are traditionally aged in small oak barrels, while Macon wines are usually lighter in character and have a good value for money. The red wines from Beaune do not have the fame of their "brothers" from Côte de Nuit, with exceptions here are those who come from Pomard, Corton and Volney. In general, they are lighter in style, but depending on the harvest they can show potential that successfully competes with the Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Aligoté
Aligote is best known as the "third" grape variety from Burgundy, most common in Buseron, in the northern part of Côte Chalon. Aligote also plays a key role in Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling wines. Aligote has been part of Burgundy's wine landscape for more than 200 years, planted alongside Chardonnay. This is an early maturing variety, characterized by its resistance to frost. Small quantities of vineyards with Aligote can also be found in the Rhone Valley, where it is used for blending mostly with Chardonnay to create light, fruity white wines from Châtillon- en-Diois. Outside France, Aligoté is particularly prevalent in Eastern Europe - in countries such as Bulgaria and Romania, where Aligoté wines have surprisingly many followers. The plantations in these countries are many times larger than in the traditional home of the variety in eastern France. Wines produced from Aligoté are usually dry in style, with floral and herbal notes. Due to its characteristic natural acidity, it is often used in blends to enhance the aromas of richer but less structured wines.
