Aligote

Domaine Rougeot

Les Plumes Bourgogne Aligote 2019

This is really fresh, really good. Bold nose of apricot, amber and ripe yellow fruits waft forth with a gentle spice interwoven throughout. Medium body with nice legs, the palate is acidic and mineral forward, with bright lemon, cumquat and slightly underripe orange. Dry, mineral driven finish, all around this is a very special, golden wine. — 3 years ago

Minerality, apples, lime zest. Very tasty. It was my friend’s first Aligote and she’s convinced! — 4 years ago

Domaine Ramonet

Bouzeron Aligoté 2013

Super impressive Aligote. Ramonet does it right. Powerful and round with an underlying minerality. The wine is a bit floral and a touch herbaceous. Awesome value wine.

Domaine A. et P. de Villaine

Les Saint-Jacques Rully Chardonnay 2015

Not the best for the price, but a good wine regardless. Quite shy on the nose, showing mostly malo and oak characters - reckon there's probably more new oak this year. Some floral features, palate delivers expectedly riper fruit characters and a very mineral finish. Balanced, but pricey for what it is. Go for the 15' Aligote instead! 😉 — 8 years ago

Hildegard Estate Bottled Santa Maria Valley White Blend 2010

Wow! Pinot gris/blanc and aligote Vinicius like a great CA Chardonnay, coming out in the best possible way. Took some time to open up but when it did it was outstanding. Still-fresh ripe pear, a hint of minerality, some cheese rind, the oxidative butterscotch and lemon curd are hidden under layers of freshness and acidity and there’s no hazelnut then you’d get in a chardonnay. What a wine! I’d hate to get it blind but it reminds of the fine examples of aged whites from Terlan, Vorberg in particular — 3 years ago

Bourgogne Aligoté 2018

So lucky to get to try this. We only got 1 case allocated. Aligote is the “second” grape but when well made is memorable. Tart green apple, underripe tangerine, lemon and some salinity. Chablis on steroids. Just a complex bottle of wine. — 5 years ago

Very nice white burg, especially for the price. Good example of the aligote grape's potential when done right. Mouth filling with waves of flavor, quite precise, excellent acid and minerality. — 8 years ago

For all intents and purposes, this may just be the ceiling of greatness for Aligote. With a bit of age, there is no loss of freshness or energy, there is depth of aroma and flavor and plenty of oh so fine reduction and the finish goes on. What a beautiful wine tonight. — 6 years ago
