"Is this Aligoté? Made from the Aligoté grape and sourced from Bouzeron, it shows an exotic panoply of sweet aromas—burnt sugar, crème fraîche, roasted pineapple—balanced with an herbal, almost agave-like smokiness. Akin to the multilayered depth of an intricate garam masala, it would be a perfect match with Indian food or a Oaxacan green mole. Heck, it tastes like Aligoté to me." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
