Bouzeron Blanc 2021 | Wine of the Domaine De Villaine

Bouzeron White Wine 2021 Domaine De Villaine

The Domaine De Villaine is located in Bouzeron, south of Beaune. The vines are grown exclusively on hillsides, between 270 and 350 metres above sea level. The lean soils with a high limestone content on these hillsides ensure a good ma of yields and the warm microclimate favours the ripening of the grapes. Certified organic since 1986! Pesticides and herbicides are excluded in order to respect the natural balance.

This Bouzeron 2021 from the Domaine De Villaine is made from Aligoté vines located on the best slopes of the Appellation. Since the establishment of the estate in Bouzeron in 1973, so-called "golden" varieties have been selected from the very old vines of Bouzeron, where they were traditional, which, as opposed to the so-called "green" types, give smaller yields and finer aromatic wines.
This is a lively and fruity wine as the grape variety wants, but which also has a finesse and a "roundness" that are due to the original character of the terroir.
Its nose expresses the essence of ripe fruit accompanied by refined, low oakiness, intense and fresh notes linked to citrus, with the sensation of smelling "petrichor" (the smell of rain on pebbles). On the palate, we can perceive the balance that can be found between the roundness of the fruit, notes of white flowers and the delicacy of the grain of the wine.
If you taste it young, in its first 2 to 3 years, you will appreciate its freshness and "fruity" qualities. Then, over time, this Bouzeron takes on "fat", expands and can be kept for about ten years. It should be served at around 12 degrees, as an aperitif or with seafood, fish and many cheeses: goat's cheese, Cantal, Beaufort, Parmesan, Roquefort.
