Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose evokes acacia, white flowers, and hazel-bordered country lanes. Flinty mineral notes
and lemon complete a classic bouquet, to which may sometimes be added a discreet touch of honey or warm
croissant.
Palate
In the mouth its meaty, well-built body and luxurious vivacity brings out the distinct personality of the
Aligoté grape.
Food Matching
This super premium Aligoté contributes lemony notes to oysters and matches
their saltiness with its steady minerality. The same goes for cod roe (taramasalata), and crustaceans, steamed or
in a cheese sauce. Its fullness enhances veal or poultry in white or cream sauce, and a mushroom risotto would
also respond nicely to its aromatic persistence. It may also be served as a pre-dinner drink with savory puff
pastries (gougères), or with dishes such as the burgundian specialty of cold ham with parsely (jambon
persillé),mixed salads, or quiches. It goes perfectly well with most types of goat cheese, as well as with Beaufort,
Comté or Cîteaux.
Region Notes
The Aligoté grape has been known in Burgundy since the 17th century. It does
marvelously well here. Official granting of the AOC Bourgogne Aligoté dates back 1937.
The grapes come exclusively from our vines located in Saint-Aubin territory. Albus means Saint-Aubin
in Latin.
