Aligoté is a crisp, refreshing white grape variety best known for producing bright wines with plenty of character. Often associated with Burgundy, this variety is loved for its lively acidity and clean, refreshing finish, making it an ideal choice when you want something lighter and more food friendly than some fuller styles.

In the glass, Aligoté wines are typically pale gold with aromas that can include citrus, green apple and pear, along with subtle floral hints. Depending on how it’s made, you may also notice notes of herbs or a gentle mineral edge, which is particularly common in well-made examples. The acidity isn’t just for balance either, it helps the flavours feel vibrant and encourages a steady, satisfying sip.

Aligoté is wonderfully versatile at the table. It pairs beautifully with seafood, oysters, lighter fish dishes, creamy but not overly heavy sauces, and classic French appetisers. If you enjoy wines that feel zesty and precise, exploring an Aligoté from the range is a great way to add a refreshing style to your collection.

Looking for a reliable everyday white with a lively personality? Aligoté is a fantastic place to start.
