2019 Domaine de Villaine Bouzeron

This Bouzeron comes from vineyards on the best slopes of the appellations. They planted the Aligoté doré grape for Bouzeron, which gives lower yields and more aromatic wines than its cousin, the Aligoté vert. This Bouzeron is true to its variety, a lively, fruity wine, but also has a finesse and roundness that come from the essential nature of the terroir. These qualities give it great versatility. To best appreciate its freshness and fruit, this Bouzeron should be drunk young, within two or three years. For the wine to develop fully full and "fat", it must be aged for up to ten years.

After the grapes are hand-picked and sorted, they go directly into a pneumatic press. The pressing is done slowly and gently to obtain clear, non-astringent juice. The must ferments in tanks or oak barrels at controlled temperatures to preserve the freshness and specific aromatic characteristics of each wine.

The Bouzeron vineyards, which are mostly located at the top of the hill, have suffered particularly from the frost. Production has been reduced by around 30%. This Bouzeron 2018 is more floral than fruity, but remains very fresh, thanks to the acidity present. This liveliness is, as always, generated by the specific marl-limestone soils of Bouzeron. Rich, round and lively at the same time, the mouthfeel. The wine alternates between the richness of the fruit, the roundness created by the good ripeness and the salty presence, a taste that makes the wine very special.
