Discover the best wines made with Aligoté as a single variety or as a blend of Sarica Niculitel.
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 DOP of Dobrogea (southeast) between the Danube, Delta and Macin mountains, limestone soils on basalt substrate, temperate continental and windy climate. Signature Feteasca Neagra as native red king: structured and spiced with black cherry, plum, blackberry, undergrowth, leather and peppery touch, firm tannins and ageing — Romanian black emblem. Floral Feteasca Alba and Aligote in fresh whites, supple Babeasca Neagra in light red. Merlot and Cabernet as complement.
