Introduction

It was my first visit to Aligoté winery - and I had only one hour, which was enough as I arrived first on Sat noon, before their famous smoked meat was ready…
Father & Son were very nice and welcoming. Some wines I liked more, some were OK but din't impress me.
Their smoked meat is very tasty!

I enjoyed knowing some of their better wines, their meat, and to meet few old friends which I didn't see for a decade or two...
