Buy Wine with Aligoté
Aligoté variety is distinguished for being vigorous, with early budding and therefore, subject to suffer spring frosts. Its ripening is also early and it is prone to downy mildew and botrytis cinerea. Its harvests fluctuate considerably according to the vineyard location.
In France, the Aligoté vineyard plantation total area has been virtually the same for the last fifty years, even though there had been a decrease during the 80's decade. In 2008 there were about 1946 hectares (4,800 acres), most of them in Burgundy, also in Côte d'Or and to a lesser extent in the Chablis region, which explains the common belief that it is just another white variety from Burgundy. It is known that during the 19th century there were Aligoté plantations in Mersault and that production of Corton-Charlemagne with Aligoté was legally authorised on 1930!
The quality of Aligoté wines is excellent, where the natural high acidity is softened as the grape ripens. Aligoté wines are fine and audacious but that requires the best soils and unfortunately these are committed to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties. Consequently, it is often planted in the higher or lower hillsides, so the wines achieved are ordinary, rather neutral and sometimes with extreme acidity. Aligoté wines are used in the cocktail world with crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) in the Kirs cocktail.
The two main appellations for the Aligoté production are Bourgogne Aligoté and, more elegant, Aligoté Bouzeron being the leading wineries for this variety Michel Bouzereau, Arnaud Ente, Michel Lafarge, Ponsot and A. et P. de Villaine. Aligoté variety was usually cultivated in the Meursault cru during the 19th century; in a legal resolution on 1930 the production with Aligoté was authorised for Corton-Charlemagne.
