BICHOT BOURGOGNE ALIGOTE

Capturing the essence of this enchanting variety, this wine displays a bright platinum/green complexion in the glass. Aromas transport you to a citrus-blossom garden, with lemon peel, white pepper, and a kiss of ocean breeze. The mouthfeel is driven by tension and a vibrant acidity dressed with a touch of honeysuckle, then resolving in a long, cleansing finish.

Bichot’s Aligoté is one of the best bargains in their already value-laden lineup. The grape is naturally bright and minerally, so Bichot uses stainless-steel tanks for both fermentation and aging to preserve that minerality, and the wine is as classic an example of Aligoté as you can find.
