Aligoté is a white grape variety primarily grown in Burgundy, France. It is known for producing crisp, refreshing wines that often have a bright acidity and floral notes. While it is less famous than its counterpart, Chardonnay, Aligoté is appreciated for its versatility and ability to pair well with various foods. The wines made from Aligoté are typically light and easy to drink, making them a popular choice for casual occasions. They can be enjoyed on their own or used in cocktails, such as the classic Kir, which combines Aligoté with blackcurrant liqueur.
