Staff Pick Notes

As Burgundy's other white grape, Aligoté has long been overshadowed by Chardonnay's megawatt star power. Relegated to the lesser vineyards, its wines were everyday sippers, usually mixed with Crème de Cassis to make Kirs.This staple aperitif of Parisian cafes was invented by Félix Kir former mayor of Dijon, who was said to come up with drink after the Germans stole all the red wine. In recent years, winemakers have been giving the grape more attention and care, letting its finer nature shine through. Goisot is just one example. The vines are farmed biodynamically and the grapes hand-harvested. He ferments using native yeast and ages on the lees in stainless steel. The result is a racy, energetic wine with aromas of lemon custard and peppermint. It's deliciously refreshing, the kind of wine to sip on a hot summer day.

The range of wine styles offered in Burgundy rivals that of any other region. In Chablis, Chardonnay is left unoaked to produce lean, crisp, steely wines with incredible acidity - a far cry from the vanilla-oak bombs that so many consumers associate with this grape. Fans of rich, unctuous, and well-oaked Chardonnay will enjoy Chassagne-Montrachet, whose age-worthy offerings offer all the fatness of a California wine, yet retain a very Burgundian, mineral-driven core and great acidity....

Aligoté

The "other" white grape of Burgundy, Aligoté plays a struggling second fiddle to the regal white grape of the region, Chardonnay. Older Aligoté vines have been known to produce wines of high quality, displaying lovely citrusy and at times nutty characteristics - but even so, the remaining plantings of the grape are fast being uprooted to make even more space for the cultivation of Chardonnay.
