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.
Romanian DOC in Vrancea (east of the Carpathians), recognised hub of national sparkling wines. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Fetească Regală are the base for Asti-method and traditional-method sparkling wines: fine bubbles, vibrant citrus, green apple, white flowers and a brioche touch. Băbească Neagră, an autochthonous variety cultivated for 2. 000 years, produces light reds with red fruits and spice.
