The famed wines of Burgundy owe their reputation to the Pinot Noir, Aligoté, and Chardonnay grapes. Buxy is located in the hills of the Côte Chalonnaise where the best wines of Burgundy are produced. Aligoté wines are recognized for their structure, light acidity and striking color. Unlike wines from other regions, Burgundy wines are not blended; rather, each wine is made from 100% of the named grapes from the producer.

Varietal:  Aligoté

About the Producer: The French Revolution, phylloxera, and two World Wars wrought havoc on the vineyards of Burgundy. In 1931, more than one hundred vineyards joined forces to rehabilitate some of the most renowned vineyards in Burgundy. These vineyards remain family owned and operated. Etienne Rodier has earned respect and recognition in France for his dedication to the integrity of Burgundy wines and traditional winemaking methods.

Recommended Food Pairings: Aligoté accompanies sausage, raw vegetables (including salads), and fish.

Tasting Notes: Aligote is a wine marked by white fruits with honeyed notes against a mineral backdrop.  Its resulting flavor is very fresh and clean - elegant.
