Aligoté possesses naturally high acidity and is often described as tart and neutral. The variety is capable of excellent quality when planted in a top site such as Clos de la Fortune where it achieves riper flavors and richer texture. Aging partially in oak barrels lends additional roundness and complexity to this exceptional example of Aligoté. White Burgundy, with its rich texture and toasted flavors, pairs well with white fish and shellfish and its naturally high acidity can counterbalance cream-based sauces.
