Les Perrières - Aligoté de Peissy

White wine | Geneva AOC

Geneva, land of welcome
This white wine expresses beautiful citrus aromas with a background of almonds and fresh hazelnuts. Round, fresh and well-balanced, with a good length, it is excellent as an aperitif or with fish or wild mushrooms. Aligoté is Burgundy's other white wine, often overlooked in favour of Chardonnay. However, it has made a name for itself in Geneva, where it produces excellent results, as seen here!
