Domaine Ramonet Bouzeron Aligote 2019
Pale straw color. Aromas of citrus, floral blossom, green melon. Tart citrus and melon flavors. Nice weight, sharp acidity, crisp finish. Will benefit from additional cellaring.
The Ramonet name is synonymous with the pinnacle of white wine excellence in Burgundy, and the incredibly talented Jean-Claude and Noël Ramonet turn their sights on Bourzeron and the Aligoté grape, the results are predictably thrilling. Much like Gamay in Beaujolais, Aligoté finds its niche in the granitic soils of the appellation. The varietal itself is more akin to Pinot Gris than Chardonnay, with a generally medium body and a tell-tale spice character that asserts itself on the finish. While Aligoté is grown elsewhere in Burgundy (and made into wines labeled Bourgogne-Aligoté AOC), Bouzeron is its ancestral home and thus has the honor of its own appellation designation.
Critical Acclaim

A fine success in a vintage adapted to this cépage, the 2019 Bouzeron delivers aromas of pear, wheat toast and orange oil, followed by a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated palate with a bright spine of acidity and a chalky finish.
