Production
Bourgogne Aligoté is a regional AOC, which means that the wines can be produced in all of the Burgundy region.[2] Since 1998, there is also a delimited AOC for Aligoté-based wines called Bouzeron, which used to be known as Bourgogne Aligoté Bouzeron.[3]
Grapes and wine style
While the primary grape is Aligoté, AOC regulations allow up to 15% Chardonnay to be blended into these wines.[3] The wines tend to be light and acidic in style, and are usually unoaked, in contrast to many of Burgundy's more common and more noted Chardonnay-based white wines. Bourgogne Aligoté is frequently mixed together with crème de cassis to make kir, a traditional pre-dinner drink.[1]
