Get to know: Domaine Emma & Christian Sorine Aligoté 2024

A vibrant Burgundy white wine from the dynamic Maranges appellation in the Côte de Beaune.

Tasting Note

Domaine Emma & Christian Sorine Aligoté 2024 is a zippy, electric white that bursts with citrus energy. Pale lemon in colour with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it’s bright and refreshing, with lively acidity and flavours of crisp orchard fruit, yellow citrus, and subtle minerality. It finishes with a clean, racy precision that leaves you wanting another sip. A youthful, immediately pleasing style that perfectly showcases the vibrancy of Burgundy Aligoté.

Top food pairings:

• Seared scallops with a citrus beurre blanc
• Lightly dressed green salads with goat’s cheese
• Fresh seafood platters or sushi

Kate Says

“The Aligoté should not be ignored, it’s a brilliant wine: zippy, electric, bursting with citrus. It’s the perfect segue for those used to Sauvignon Blanc or Albarino into the world of Burgundy – Perfect for a lazy weekend lunch .”
