Aligote Bourgogne Wine 2021 Domaine Nicolas Rossignol

Domaine Nicolas Rossignol’s 2021 Aligoté from Burgundy’s esteemed Pommard and Volnay terroirs offers a captivating blend of freshness and depth that redefines this often-overlooked varietal. Crafted from vines planted in 1933—rooted in two iconic Pinot Noir regions—this wine delivers a rich narrative of heritage and craftsmanship in every sip.

With crisp acidity upfront, the nose bursts with vibrant aromas of green apple and Meyer lemon zest, intertwined with delicate white floral notes and a whisper of mineral complexity. On the palate, it evolves into a lush tapestry of ripe pear and white peach flavors, underscored by subtle spice and a lingering saline minerality that lingers long after each glass. This balance between bright fruitiness and rounded texture makes it an ideal companion for seafood dishes or light summer fare.

What sets this Aligoté apart is its provenance: sourced from century-old vines in Burgundy’s most celebrated appellations, it carries the weight of tradition while showcasing modern winemaking finesse. Once overshadowed by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this varietal’s resurgence highlights its versatility and ability to pair elegance with approachability—a perfect choice for both casual sipping and cellar-worthy enjoyment.

Whether you’re seeking a refreshing white wine for al fresco dining or a conversation starter at your next gathering, this 2021 vintage combines Burgundy’s storied legacy with contemporary appeal at an accessible price point.
