Our tasting note: Medium lemon sand star bright color. Wow! Best Aligote I have ever had. Med- lemon yellow gold. The nose is pronounced with grapefruit, pineapple, minerality, acidity.

Bourgogne Aligot is an appellation produced throughout Burgundy though it is mostly found in the vineyards around Auxerre, the Cte Chalonnaise and the Hautes Ctes de Beaune and Nuits. Domaine Adlie’s “Champ Renard’ vineyard is located at the entrance of the village of Mercurey. In terms of winemaking, it is vinified in the same spirit and using the same traditional methods as for our Chardonnay grapes.
