Aligote is grape grown almost exclusively in Burgundy, having being planted there since as early as the 18th century. Aligoté is a delicious white wine that is young, stylish and is a little different. The best growers, like Ms Curley, produce balanced examples with nutty and citrus hints which are most appealing to drink. Bourgogne Aligote offers exceptional value for money for those who are fans of crisp Chablis style wines.

Description
Róisín Curley is a super star. Not only a winemaker and micro-negotiant, she is a full-time front-line healthcare worker, practicing as a pharmacist in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo. And she is a Master of Wine. Her enthusiasm for wine led to her turning a hobby into this incredible alternate life with, via lengthy studies that led her to work in Chateau Latour (yes, the Chateau Latour), Chateau Grillet in the Rhone, Geisenheim in the Rhein and Montpelier. Whenever we've had the fortune to meet her, it is a forensic characteristic that comes to mind, yet not at the expense of being a charming, engaging, humble funny and all-round jolly good person. Not all of them wear capes...
