EXPLORING BURGUNDY’S ALIGOTÉ WITH ERIC ASIMOV
January 19 @ 6:00 PM
Master Class 6pm | South Atlantic Room | $125 inclusive of tax and gratuity
Burgundy’s hidden gem…
The Aligoté grape is almost reflexively dismissed as inconsequential, better spiked with crème de cassis to make the aperitif kir than considered fine wine. Yet when grown with care and respect, and made conscientiously into wine, aligoté can be beautifully rich and minerally, and can age for years. Great Burgundy producers like Roulot, Pillot, Ente, Lafarge, Ponsot and Leroy, just to name a few, grow aligoté even though they could make more money with other grapes, and Aubert de Villaine’s family makes wonderful Aligoté in Bouzeron. Join New York Times Chief Wine Editor, Eric Asimov and Boston Wine & Food Festivals own Nick Daddona to taste the reason why so many Burgundy producers consider this the “hidden gem”.
Note: A Gordon’s team member will be present to place orders of select featured wines.
