The wine region of Bourgogne Aligoté
This regional appellation is the only one to mention a Grape variety name. There are as many aligotés as there are areas in Burgundy where they are made: in Pernand, they are supple and Fruity; in the Hautes-Côtes, they are fresh and lively; finally, those of Bouzeron have acquired a distinct appellation. This Dry white wine is a Decanter wine to be drunk Young. It is ideal for the kir, an aperitif composed of blackcurrant cream and fresh white wine.
The wine region of Burgundy
Bourgogne is the catch-all regional appellation title of the Burgundy wine region in eastern France ("Bourgogne" is the French name for Burgundy). Burgundy has a Complex and comprehensive appellation system; counting Premier Cru and Grand Cru titles, the region has over 700 appellation titles for its wines. Thus, Burgundy wines often come from one Vineyard (or several separate vineyards) without an appellation title specific to the region, Village or even vineyard. A standard Burgundy wine may be made from grapes grown in one or more of Burgundy's 300 communes.
