The 2023 Bouzeron has a vivacious nose that boldly declares, "I am Aligoté!" The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity and beautiful weight in the mouth, featuring hints of lemon curd, white peach and Anjou pear toward the poised finish. You'll find few Bouzerons better than this.
 
90 Points Jasper Morris
Pale lemon and lime. Backward, showing density, some opulence, but not too much, with crystalline clarity behind. Extra tension, and very long indeed. Different layers of fruit wash over the back of the palate. Drink from 2026-2028
 
 
Winemaker Notes
Our Bouzeron comes from vines situated on the best slopes of the appellations. We have 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, our Bouzeron is a liveley, fruity wine, but it also has a finesse and roundness that spring from the essential nature of the terroir.
These qualities lend it great versatility. To best appreciate the freshness and fruit, our Bouzeron would be drunk young, within two or three years. To allow the wine to fully develop fullness and "fatness", age it for up to ten years.
Our Bouzeron should be served chilled, at about 54°F, as an apéritif, with seafood, or with a number of cheeses (goat cheese, Cantal, Beaufort, Parmesan, Roquefort, etc.)
Very ethereal, both citrus and floral, our Bouzeron 2023 offers notes of white-fleshed fruits on the palate. The traditional acidity from the Aligoté grape is crisp, refreshing and lengthens the fruit sensation. The balance between the fruit of the wine in the first instance and the salty "minerality" on the finish, allows the Bouzeron to express the great quality and diversity of the terroir of our 17 plots of Aligoté Doré.
The Bouzeron is a fresh, thirst-quenching wine, whose terroirs give to the Aligoté Doré grape, which benefits from warmer weather, a strength of expression rarely reached in the past. To drink now for the fruit.
