Discover the best wines made with Aligoté as a single variety or as a blend of Dobrudja.
Lively, taut whites with chiselled acidity and an airy palate, with aromas of lemon, green apple, white flowers, fresh almond and chalky notes. Typically saline finish. Star of Bouzeron AOC (the only single-variety aligoté appellation) and Bourgogne Aligoté AOC. Also used in Crémant de Bourgogne and the iconic kir cocktail (with blackcurrant liqueur). Historic Burgundian variety, a cross of pinot noir × gouais blanc, half-sibling of chardonnay.
Sunny plateau of eastern Romania between the Danube and the Black Sea, the country's most promising region, temperate-continental climate, well-drained limestone soils. Fetească Albă is the flagship native white: floral and taut with notes of acacia, citrus, green apple, honey and a mineral touch, vivid acidity — Romania's white emblem. Structured Fetească Neagră in red (black cherry, plum, spices). Ample Chardonnay, aromatic Muscat Ottonel.
