Description
Recognised in 1997 as a fully-fledged Burgundian
com-munal appellation, the AOC BOUZERON is a
salute to the Aligoté grape, to which it owes its fame. This
variety of grape does particularly well in Burgundy where
its distinct personality comes well to the fore and gives
its name to the regional appellation BOURGOGNE
ALIGOTÉ. Bouzeron lies in the Côte Chalonnaise
in northern Saône-et-Loire. The valley of the river Dheune
separates it from Santenay and it is a close neighbour of
Rully and Chas-sagne-Montrachet. Its hillsides have seen
human activity going back into the mists of time and the
district has even given its name - Chassean - to a prehistoric culture, famous for its artwork.
Tasting
At once rounded and sprightly - a superb synthesis - this
enjoyable and delicately powerful wine contributes lemony notes to oysters and matches their saltiness with its
steady minerality. The same goes for cod roe (tarama),
and crustaceans, steamed or in a cheese sauce. Its fullness
enhances veal or poultry in white or cream sauce, and a
mushroom risotto would also respond nicely to its aromatic
persistence. It may also be served as a predinner drink with
savory puff pastries (gougères), or with dishes such as the
burgundian specialty of cold ham with parsely (jambon
persillé), mixed salads, or quiches. It goes perfectly well
with most types of goat cheese, as well as with Beaufort,
Comté or Cîteaux. Serving temperatures: 10 to 11 °C as a
predinner drink, 11 to 12° C with meal.
