Louis Jadot Bouzeron Domaine Gagey 2016

Bouzeron is a rather new appellation dating back to 1998, only producing white wine with the Aligoté grape. It is the only identified place in Burgundy where a village appellation is produced with the Aligote grape (a crossing of Gouais and Pinot Noir). Bouzeron is a small village located in the Côte Chalonnaise next to Rully. The size of the appellation is very small: 116.1 acres. Fermentation and vinification take place in stainless steel tanks and ageing in French oak barrels (30% new barrels). This special Aligote is well structured, with hints of peaches. The acidity is light; this wine is very fresh and lively, not too tannic.
