Domaine A. et P. de Villaine Bouzeron Aligoté 2015

Al Shikoh

Pale yellow in color with aromas of lemon, green apple, and honey. Tart and mineral on the palate with slightly waxy texture and 12.5% alcohol. Made from the Golden Aligoté grape which finds its highest expression in Bouzeron where it is championed by Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of DRC. Imported by Kermit Lynch. Paired nicely with oysters.

Lemon and rock salt I’m cleaning my apartment and have so much pep

Michael Goldstein

Rocky like Mount Blanc, minerals like the Adriatic, almost salty (which I love). Grips in your mouth like one of those annoying locks on the bridges over the Seine. Perfect with briny, sweet seafood. Spectacular

Chip Hughes

Still the gold standard. Rich, elegant, persistent. Especially fresh in ‘15.

Makoto Someya

Pear, matured fruits. Citrus acidic, but with sweetness from remaining sugar. @700/60ml, The Nakasu, 191025

Robert Lim

Rounded, richly savory and a little bit sour, the kind sour you get from touching a 9V battery to your tongue.

Pooneet Kant

Nice Aligote from a great producer. Fatter in the mouth than expected, with white fruit and apricot. Quite full but still decent acid on the finish.

A défaut de Romanée conti je peux me payer que le Bouzeron! Et bien chapeau, parce que l’aligoté d’habitude ça finit plutôt en kir... On sent bien le côté chaleureux du millésime
