2020 A et P de Villaine - Bouzeron Aligote

Aromas of green apple, freshly baked bread, mint and beeswax introduce the 2020 Bouzeron, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine with a lively spine of acidity, chalky structure and a saline finish. After the unusually rich, concentrated 2019, the 2020 marks a return to a more classically proportioned Bouzeron from de Villaine.

This aligote offers sophisticated refreshment. Very fresh nose of lemon zest, flint and a slew of fresh garden herbs. Sleek and racy, with a lovely balance of creaminess from sur-lie maturation, zesty acidity and salty minerality. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Made from 17 different plots. Pale lemon colour, quite rich and even a little vegetal on the nose. Then a beautiful mouthful with warmth and style, body, a typical tangy touch. But such a volume of fruit and flesh. 14.2%.
