The Aligoté grape has great potential in the right hands and in suitable terroir. An excellent example is Love & Pif, a Burgundy wine that showcases why this varietal is held in high esteem. Its origins near Beaune contribute to its impressive structure and length, which is further enhanced by careful aging in tanks rather than oak barrels. Yann DURIEUX, the expert winemaker, allows for some time in the bottle to develop complexity before labeling this wine as a Vin de France despite its exciting origins.
