This is a regional white wine appellation. The vineyard is located overlooking the village of Pommard and the soil there is made up of limestone scree. The fact that the vineyard is not located on flat land - like the land used to grow most Aligoté grapes - means that the wine has a certain minerality, as well as being fruity. It should be drunk young and is perfect for making kir (a cocktail consisting of a measure of crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) topped up with white wine made from Aligoté grapes) and is a treat when it accompanies shellfish, fish and Raclette (a Swiss dish based on heating the cheese and scraping off (racler) the melted part). It must be served chilled. It is a very thirst-quenching wine.
