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.

The wine region of Vin de France

The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.

The word of the wine: Cornalin

Black grape variety native to the Valais (Switzerland). It produces renowned wines of a dark purple colour with violet hues, an elegant bouquet and a powerful, fresh, fruity (cherry) and spicy palate. Cornalin wines can be drunk young or after several years of ageing, with game.
