2017 Domaine de Villaine Aligoté Bouzeron

SKU #1430765 93 points Decanter

Outer quote mark Pierre de Benoist says that he wants bitterness in his wine and, in the best possible way, he gets what he wants: this is racy and refined, its greenness and salinity balanced by pretty white fruit. The Aligoteurs talk a great deal about the quality of Aligoté Doré, and here’s some fine proof they're right. Organic. (NC) Inner quote mark (8/2019)

90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2017 Bouzeron is showing very well after a year in bottle, unfurling in the glass with scents of fresh peaches, white flowers, beeswax and green apples. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and lively, with good concentration and volume at the core, chalky structuring extract and a pure finish. This is well worth attention. (WK) Inner quote mark (7/2019)

Jancis Robinson

Outer quote mark Organic Aligoté Doré from the personal property of Aubert de Villaine of DRC. Intense, ripe nose with a green streak. Beautifully balanced, clean palate. But already very accessible and I'm not sure it will be suitable for the cellar. Quite a decent finish. 16.5/20 Inner quote mark (3/2019)

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Burgundy

- The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Côte d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Côte de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Côte de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Côte d'Or. Also include by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.
