L'Etrangère Aligoté 2022
Bourgogne Aligoté AOC

Less than 6% of Burgundy's vineyards are planted to Aligoté, but perhaps, one day, it'll outshine Chardonnay! L'Etrangère is an exceptional wine from carefully selected parcels in Côte Chalonnaise. Bright and elegant with ripe stone fruits.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
Aligoté used to be regarded as Chardonnay's poorer cousin, but today some famous Burgundy names are making top wine from it. In fact, it's the style Burgundians love to drink. With warmer temperatures, the grape now ripens well, retaining intense freshness, but with rounder peach notes too. L'Etrangère is made in Côte Chalonnaise under the careful gaze of Alain Pierre. Alain is from a long line of Burgundian winegrowers who have been in the region since 1620. He decided to follow in their footsteps, studying, then working at several renowned estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Bordeaux before his return to the family fold. This tasty Aligoté offers nectarine, pear and blossom notes. With a gentle creaminess, it’s superb solo or with fish.
