Made exclusively from the rare Aligoté Doré clone, this wine showcases the expressive potential of a grape long underappreciated, now poised for resurgence in a warming climate.

Sensory Description:
Zesty and crystalline on the nose, the 2020 Bouzeron offers aromas of lemon zest, white peach, fresh herbs, and wet stone. The palate is lithe yet persistent, driven by its hallmark acidity and chalky mineral backbone. Notes of green apple, citrus blossom, and a hint of savory lees character add complexity, finishing with laser-cut precision and refreshing lift.
Winemaker's Background:
Domaine A. & P. de Villaine is the personal project of Aubert de Villaine, the co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Based in the village of Bouzeron, the domaine has long championed the Aligoté grape and played a central role in the creation of the Bouzeron AOC. Practicing certified organic farming since 1997, the domaine is renowned for producing pure, terroir-driven wines with finesse and integrity.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve well-chilled at 10–12°C. This lively Aligoté is a classic companion to shellfish, oysters, and fresh goat cheese, and it excels alongside sushi, sashimi, or vegetable tempura. Its vibrant acidity and saline finish also make it a beautiful pairing with herbed roast chicken or grilled trout with lemon.
The 2020 Domaine A. & P. de Villaine Bouzeron is not only a masterful expression of Burgundy’s only Aligoté appellation, it is also a shining example of how tradition and thoughtful innovation can shape the future of white Burgundy.
