Description

Vignerons de Buxy Buissonnier Bourgogne Aligoté: A Fresh White Burgundy

The Bourgogne Aligoté Buissonnier is produced by Vignerons de Buxy, a wine cooperative based in the heart of Burgundy. Part of the Buissonnier collection, this wine highlights the character of Aligoté, a traditional white grape variety of the region. The range is built around selected vineyard parcels, with the aim of expressing the individual identity of Burgundy’s appellations.

Made entirely from Aligoté, the wine comes mainly from vineyards located between Buxy and Saint-Gengoux-le-National in the Côte Chalonnaise. These parcels lie towards the foot of the slopes, where clay-limestone subsoils and deposits of stones form part of the local vineyard environment. The terroir provides the setting for a wine focused on freshness and aromatic clarity.

The wine is vinified entirely in stainless steel vats. This approach helps preserve the grape’s natural liveliness and fresh-fruit character without introducing oak-derived flavours. The wine typically displays a pale golden colour with bright reflections. Floral aromas and fresh fruit lead on the nose, followed by a tender, aromatic palate with notes of white flowers and hazelnut. Citrus nuances contribute to its fresh finish.

At the table, Buissonnier Bourgogne Aligoté is a versatile choice. It can be served as an aperitif or paired with charcuterie, omelettes and fish in sauce. Its freshness also works well with oysters and other seafood, while goat’s cheese offers another natural match. The wine is also traditionally used to prepare Kir Bourguignon, a combination of white wine and crème de cassis.

For the best expression of its fresh, fruity character, it is recommended to enjoy the wine within the first few years after harvest. Serve at approximately 11–13°C.

This white wine is used to make the famous Kir à la crème de cassis.
