2019 Domaine de Villaine Bouzeron Aligote Blanc Côte Chalonnaise 1.5L

Winemaker Notes: This Bouzeron comes from vines situated on the best slopes of the appellations. The Domaine has planted to Bouzeron the golden Aligoté doré grape, which gives lowers yield and more aromatic wines than its cousin, the Aligoté vert.

True to its varietal nature, this Bouzeron is a lively, fruity wine, but it also has a finesse and roundness that spring from the essential nature of the terroir.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "Blended from 17 parcels spread over nine lieux-dits, each vinified separately. The pressing is very slow and gentle, with the fermentation carried out in large, neutral casks, and the wine is racked after a year in cask on the lees. In ripe vintages like 2019, the slight bitterness of the skin of Aligoté can give complexity and balance to the honeyed note of the fruit. This is a complex, sensual wine."
