Aligote: |
|
| White
wine grape that is widely cultivated in and around BURGUNDY.
It's considered less important and distinguished than the CHARDONNAY
grape, and, in most cases, wines developed from the Aligoté are not
as rich or long-lived as those from Chardonnay. Older Aligoté vines
have been known to produce some very nice wines, which often exhibit
citrusy and, occasionally, nutty characteristics. Burgundian wines
made from this grape are labeled BOURGOGNE ALIGOTÉ AC or, when they
come from the village of Bourzeron in the COTE CHALONNAISE, BOURGOGNE
ALIGOTÉ DE BOURZERON AC. The Aligoté grape is losing out to
Chardonnay, and vineyard plantings have been reduced in the last 15
years. However, it remains popular in some eastern European countries
including Bulgaria and Rumania. The Aligoté grape is also called Blanc
de Troyes, Chaudenet Gris, and Plant Gris. - return
