The grapes come from 30-year-old vines on limestone soils and are hand-harvested, giving this Aligoté more precision and refinement than often found in this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"583\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"721\"\u003eBourgogne Aligoté comes from the broader Bourgogne appellation, where Aligoté has long held its own alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"723\" data-end=\"894\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"725\" data-end=\"748\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e This wine falls under the Bourgogne Aligoté appellation.
