Maison Chanzy Bouzeron Clos de la Fortune Monopole 2016

The hidden gem of Burgundy, the Bouzeron appellation, is the expression of a unique area devoted exclusively to the Aligoté grape. Historian Claude Courtépée praised the Aligoté wine of Bouzeron in 1774 in his book “The Duchy of Burgundy”. By decree on 17th February 1998, Bouzeron became the only village of Burgundy authorized to produce an AOC village wine from this ancient Burgundian grape, the Aligoté. This recognition clearly shows that the Aligoté grape has found its soil of choice in Bouzeron.

Upon tasting, Bouzeron reveals a wine that is delicate and nuanced. It is characterized by fruity notes with a beautiful mineral quality on the palate. Ageing on lees gives it body and volume. The Domaine Chanzy Bouzeron wines are bottled at the Domaine before the summer in order to preserve freshness and splendor. Perfect as an aperitif, Bouzeron is also sublime with seafood, grilled fish, fish with sauce and sushi.
