The area of the Bourgogne Aligoté appellation is entwined with that of the Bourgogne appellation. It spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône & Loire, and Rhône departments. Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne Aligoté wines stem from very diverse terroirs.
This appellation is produced from a single grape variety, the Aligoté, known in Burgundy since the 17th century. This unique grape variety is not very common in the rest of the world; it covers 1500 hectares in Burgundy.
After a controlled pressing, the musts are left to settle then the wine is fermented in thermos regulated stainless steel tank under selected yeast.
The maturing process takes place on stainless steel tank on lees during 6 to 8 months.
The 2025 growing season in Burgundy was marked by a rainfall deficit of around 30% and an early harvest, beginning on August 25 in the Côte de Beaune.
Despite more unsettled weather at the start of harvest, grape health was excellent, with fine aromatic concentration.
Red wines show gentle extraction and good colour, while whites combine richness and concentration with vibrant freshness.
Overall, 2025 is shaping up as a vintage of character and quality for both red and white Burgundies.
