We Didn't Expect This From a £10.69 Costco Wine (Episode 580)

Can a £10.69 wine from Costco really deliver the quality you'd expect from Burgundy? We taste UVC Bourgogne Aligoté 2023 — and it turns out to be quite a surprise. At just £10.69, we weren't quite sure what to expect. But from the colour and aroma through to the first taste, this inexpensive French white gave us plenty to talk about. We pick up creamy, buttery and honeyed notes, a touch of nuttiness and a surprisingly long-lasting flavour. We also look at what food we'd pair with it — including fish, pork and chicken — before John M tackles the all-important cheese pairing. And yes… Stinking Bishop enters the conversation. 😄 Finally, we give the wine our Wine Mastery scores and decide whether this Costco Burgundy really represents good value for money.
