Domaine Dubreuil Fontaine Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 from Pernand‑Vergelesses in Burgundy is a zesty, ultra‑refreshing white that showcases Aligoté’s citrus‑driven charm with pale straw colour and a lifted, mouth‑watering nose. This Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 bursts with lemon and lime, green apple and crunchy pear, wrapped in delicate floral notes and a subtle saline, chalky mineral edge from limestone‑rich soils. It is all about purity and cut, with no distracting oak to get in the way of its brightness.

On the palate it is light‑bodied yet flavoursome, driven by brisk, refreshing acidity and a clean, linear line of citrus and green orchard fruit that keeps you coming back for another sip. Served well‑chilled, this is pitch‑perfect as an aperitif, but it also works beautifully at the table when you want something crisp and energising rather than rich or creamy.

For food pairings, think light and salty: oysters, prawns, simple grilled fish with lemon, goat’s cheese salad and classic Burgundian gougères are all brilliant, while sushi or cured salmon are equally good with its racy, mouth‑watering finish. Domaine Dubreuil‑Fontaine Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 is a fantastic option for Sauvignon Blanc drinkers wanting to explore Burgundy, offering serious refreshment and value that suits warm evenings and crowd‑pleasing by‑the‑glass pours.
