This refreshing Aligoté is bright lemon yellow in colour, with vibrant aromas of citrus fruit and honeysuckle. The medium-bodied palate shows lovely purity of lemon and mineral flavours, balanced by riper peach and pear fruit and a lifted acidity on the elegant finish.

Until 2005, the Perraud family were among many in the Mâconnais making a living growing grapes for their local co-operative. At the age of 24, Jean-Christophe Perraud decided to change this.

Encouraged by his parents, he began to make and bottle wine from his family's 30 hectares of organically farmed Bourgogne, Mâcon and Saint-Véran vineyards. Produced from younger vines, both the Chardonnay and the Aligoté being on average 20 years old, the resulting wines show remarkable elegance and complexity at modest price tags. Domaine Perraud is a fine example of a young producer striking out on his own, with the family’s vineyards, to create what will undoubtedly become one of the Mâconnais’ most respected domaines.
