TO ENHANCE this dish

A Burgundian grape variety par excellence, Aligoté offers wines that are light and crispy. It is appreciated for its characteristic aromas of lemon, acacia, hazelnut and green apple. Very fresh, it is perfect for summer aperitifs around a barbecue. It is best served with fish and shellfish.

For our recipe, our experts were delighted by a cuvée:

BURGUNDY ALIGOTE - DOMAINE COLBOIS

The demanding work of the Colbois family in the vineyard can be seen with great pleasure on the palate! Enhanced, the grape variety provides surprising freshness accompanied by an intense and elegant fruitiness. A mouthfilling and silky nectar with superb value for money. Not to be missed under any circumstance.

Floral notes of acacia and hawthorn on the nose, you will succumb to the bright pale colour of this Aligoté. Silky in the mouth and slightly fruity, it has a beautifully elegant finish.

Get away from preconceived ideas with this talented winemaker who is helping us rediscover the traditional Aligoté!

This dry, supple and delicate white wine is suitable from aperitif to dessert. With our gambas and a piece of ciabatta, it is nirvana!

Serving temperature: 10-11°C
