Domaine Borgeot Aligoté – Bourgogne Aligoté – White – 2022:

 

The Renaissance of White Burgundy’s Second Grape

The Bourgogne Aligoté from Domaine Borgeot is a vibrant, high-quality white wine that champions the Aligoté grape’s modern renaissance. Sourced from carefully tended plots, including some strategically located in the Côte de Beaune (near Puligny-Montrachet), this bottling delivers a level of purity and tension that elevates the appellation. It’s a testament to the Borgeot family’s expertise and a must-try for any true Burgundy enthusiast looking beyond Chardonnay.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Bright, pale gold with subtle greenish reflections.
• Nose: Precise and expressive, featuring dominant notes of crisp citrus (lemon, grapefruit zest), green apple, and delicate white blossoms (acacia, honeysuckle). A clear, underlying mineral streak is present.
• Palate: The entry is lively and focused. The wine is taut, offering mouth-watering acidity that perfectly balances the fruit. The finish is clean, persistent, and subtly savory, making it incredibly refreshing.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled (52-54°F) to maximize its refreshing character. While excellent in a traditional Kir, this wine truly shines with food. It is the perfect accompaniment to raw seafood, fresh goat cheese, and light, savory appetizers. It’s a versatile, food-friendly champion.
