René Cacheux Bourgogne Aligoté – Bourgogne Aligoté – White – 2021:

 

The New Wave of Bourgogne Aligoté: CACHEUX RENE

The CACHEUX RENE BOURGOGNE ALIGOTE BLANC represents the exciting renaissance of Burgundy’s ‘other’ white grape. Crafted by Domaine Cacheux René, this dry white is a testament to the Aligoté varietal’s potential for producing intensely fresh, mineral-driven wines that stand proudly on their own.

Tasting Profile & Structure

This wine displays a bright, pale gold color with a youthful green tinge. The nose is immediately engaging, bursting with zesty notes of fresh lime, green apple, and a hint of white floral complexity. The palate delivers the signature Aligoté thrill: a high, yet beautifully integrated, acidity that cleanses the palate. Expect flavors of lemon zest and wet stone minerality, culminating in a crisp, invigorating finish. It’s an energetic, sophisticated white wine.

Pairing & Enjoyment

Best served well-chilled (52-54°F), this is a phenomenal aperitif and a versatile culinary partner.

• Classic Match: Raw Oysters on the half shell with a simple mignonette.
• Gourmet Pairing: Fresh goat cheese tarts or light seafood ceviche.
• Asian Cuisine: Excellent with sushi or delicate steamed fish dishes.
