Types of Grape: ALIGOTÉ
This is a thin-skinned grape of unexceptional quality grown in Burgundy and Bulgaria. It makes tart wines of moderate alcoholic content, but in exceptionally hot years
they can have good weight and richness. The variety’s best wines come from certain
Burgundian villages, especially Bouzeron, where the quality may be improved by the
addition of a little Chardonnay.
