92 WS / 90 WA / 16+ JR

#48 Wine Spectator Top 100 2021

A fresh, crystalline white, this offers lemon, green apple, almond and salty mineral flavors. Though rich, it is detailed and well-defined by vibrant acidity. Shows fine balance and length, leaving a hint of wild herbs on the finish. Drink now through 2025. - BS, Wine Spectator

Aromas of green apple, pear, white flowers and beeswax introduce the 2018 Bouzeron, a medium-bodied, racy wine with an elegantly satiny attack, bright acids and a long, precise finish. This is a touch more demonstrative out of the gates than the 2017 rendition, but it retains plenty of cut in this warm year and should age well. William Kelley – The Wine Advocate

Organic. Bottled. This Aligoté is quite floral on the nose. And very satisfying, utterly mouth-filling and pure. Alas it’s not cheap but it is a serious, very well-made wine with very light bitterness (not a fault in this case) on the end. Jancis Robinson
