Aligoté is a white grape variety from Burgundy, France, known for producing wines with high acidity and vibrant flavors of citrus and green apple. Often overshadowed by Chardonnay, it stands out for its crisp and refreshing profile. It pairs well with seafood, salads, and light poultry dishes, and is the traditional choice for the classic Kir cocktail. Aligoté wines are typically more affordable, making them an excellent choice for those seeking quality at a lower price point.
