This AOP embodies the tradition and authenticity of Burgundian viticulture, offering wines that celebrate the freshness and finesse of the Burgundian terroir.
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.

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