Aligoté is a lesser-known white grape from Burgundy, France, often overshadowed by Chardonnay but prized for its high acidity and fresh, citrus-driven profile. Traditionally used in the classic Kir cocktail, it also shines in lean, mineral-driven wines, especially from the Bouzeron AOC. Aligoté is gaining renewed interest from growers and sommeliers for its food-friendly style and ability to express terroir in a vibrant, accessible way.
