Often overlooked in favour of Chardonnay, Aligoté is one of Burgundy’s historic white varieties and is increasingly recognised for its vibrancy, texture and expressive link to place. Sourced from old vines in Puligny-Montrachet, this Bourgogne Aligoté reflects the nobility of a variety that has thrived quietly for centuries within one of the world’s most revered white wine landscapes. Grown on steep slopes of sandy marl and limestone, Aligoté here delivers freshness, mineral tension and surprising depth, making it both highly versatile and distinctly Burgundian.

Tasting Note: Pascal Marchand has access to two old-vine Aligoté plots that lie curiously within the Chardonnay nirvana of Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. The wine crafted from these special vines testifies transparently to the nobility of this re-emerging variety, that has been hiding in plain sight for centuries. Fresh and direct, with clean and present acidity, citrus and almond kernel aromatics, a surprisingly lush texture, saline and mineral undertones and a long finish, the Aligoté elevates food, delights as an aperitif and will continue to satisfy with a few additional years in bottle.
