Armand Heitz Bourgogne Aligoté

While everyone imagines Chardonnay as a noble grape variety, we'd like to know why Aligoté would be considered any less noble. In France, they cut off the heads of the nobility? After much research, producer Armand Heitz's opinion is that there are no noble or less noble grape varieties. There are just grape varieties that are more or less suited to their terroir and to consumer expectations. In the current context of climate change, Aligoté planted at the bottom of slopes can produce very serious wines.
