I've studied a bit about Aligoté last week and found that in Burgundy they have 2 strains: Aligoté Vert (used to make kir) and Aligoté Doré (the one that the best domaines in Cote Challonaise grow), do you know which of these were chosen by the other producing countries?
I have a question please, when you talked about the similarities (high in acidity and low in sweeteness) you mentionned the Ribolla Giolla, so is that means it's like a Roussane in a way?
Aligote is my favorite white wine. It is very good with oysters! I used to love Chablis, but once I tried Aligote I fell in love.

Thanks for your advice I'm from Washington state

Hi Armine, Very good point indeed! There are some similarities to Roussanne from cooler regions. But Roussanne would typically be more aromatic.
Canadian Friends, if you want an amazing Canadian Aligoté check out Château des Charmes Wines they do an incredible Aligoté. Cheers!
Absolutely! Good mention.
I wish we can find more aligote in the US!
Hi Anne, I'm sure you can find a few... Which state do you live in?
Practically impossible to find it in Australia too. *sad face*
You forgot Bulgaria 8200 acres.
My bad!

Mmm Aligote for me was not a great pleasure overall
