2020 Domaine de Villaine Bouzeron Aligote Blanc Côte Chalonnaise

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 - "There is a pure lemony fruit on the initial attack here, but there is more complexity than that, with saline, iodine notes, plus hints of beeswax and hay. The texture is truly enchanting, with a rich, waxy, slightly phenolic texture and a lovely, slight bitterness that balances out the richness. This is built to age and will last a decade or more, at least."
