The terroir of the Bourgogne Aligoté PDO is characterized by clay-limestone soils and varied exposures, giving the wines great aromatic diversity and a unique expression of the Burgundy terroir. Located in the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise winegrowing regions, this terroir benefits from a semi-continental climate, with warm summers and cold winters, which enable optimal ripening of Aligoté grapes.
The Aligoté grape is Burgundy's traditional white variety, appreciated for its freshness, lively acidity and subtle aromas of citrus and white flowers.

Each year, this AOP produces around 15,000 hectoliters of wine, representing a significant share of Burgundy's total white wine production.
