Description:
Château des Charmes Winemaster Paul Bosc was the first North American winegrower to import the Aligoté grape variety from Burgundy. By restricting the yield in the vineyard he is able to produce a dry, white wine with hints of green apples and butter. Crisp with excellent fruit concentration.

Varietal Definition
Aligoté:
The second white grape of Burgundy and very much the 'poor relation' of Chardonnay. Originally used as a blending wine with Chardonnay, it is now producing some interesting varietal wines thanks to stainless steel fermentation and modern vinification methods. Somewhat tart and acidic, it is considered the ideal base wine for the French aperitif, Kir.
