Louis Jadot Bouzeron Domaine Gagey 2015

Tasting Notes

This special Aligote is well structured, with hintsof peaches. The acidity is light, this wine is very fresh and lively, not too tannic.

Bouzeron is a rather new appellation dating back to 1998, only producing white wine with the Aligote 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).

Wine maker notes
Barnier is optimistic about the aging potential of the 2015 whites, most of which were bottled with alcohol levels just under 14%, without chaptalization. “They will be open young but we won’t have to wait more than three to five years even for the top wines,” he offered. “And I don’t see why they won’t remain open. But we have had ripe vintages that are great at 30 years old.”

Food pairing
It goes well with white meats, charcuterie, poultry, andouillette and goat cheese.
