Bouzeron Village 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This wine is from a 12-acre parcel owned by the Gagey family in the unique appellation of Bouzeron, just South of the Cote de Beaune. The appellation is spread across rolling hills with clay subsoils and is 100% dedicated to the Aligote grape variety. Historically this wine was inferior to Burgundian Chardonnays, however recent progress in utilizing the correct plant material in the most suitable terroirs has allowed for great improvements and the development of a versatile and refreshing white
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began with dry weather on September 13th, and the small yields arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
The naturally bracing acidity of this varietal frame the citrus and flinty flavors which spread across the palate and continue over the long finish.
