History
The Aligoté grape is very famous in Burgundy and for a long time it's been only related to its use in the fabrication of the Kir (an Aperitif also very famous, made with Bourgogne Aligoté and Crème de Cassis, our regional blackcurrant liqueur).
But this varietal has been known in Burgundy since the 17th century, and it is increasingly considered as a qualitative grape and treated as such (low yields, vinification using oak barrels, etc).

Vinification and maturing
Then, the wine was aged on its lees in stainless steel tanks for about 6 months in order to get a little roundness in the wine and develop more complexity.
