The wine region of Bouzéron
Village AOC in the Côte Chalonnaise (Bouzeron and Chassey-le-Camp, 270–350 m, white calcareous marls), the only Burgundy AOC dedicated to Aligoté, granted in 1998. Aligoté Doré is the exclusive signature white king — thin-skinned, turning golden at maturity, balanced alcohol and acidity, aromas of acacia and white flowers, honey notes with citrus touches, refreshing vivacity. A lively, young, fruity wine, perfect as an aperitif or with oysters.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
