Jean-Claude Ramonet's Bouzeron is a crisp, mineral Aligoté from the Bouzeron AOC in the Côte Chalonnaise, hand-harvested, gently pressed, then fermented with native yeasts in tank before a short élevage in barrels to add texture without masking purity. The warm, low-yield 2022 season yielded ripe but focused fruit, so expect notes of lemon zest, green apple, and faint melon, with a saline, iodine-tinged finish complementing clean acidity. While it's not the most sought-after of the Ramonet lineup, the Bouzeron is sneaky good with time in the cellar, and 3-5 years of age is perfect for this wine, which is showing great now. It's an excellent way to get some Ramonet in the cellar without the price tags of the crus, and we have a limited quantity available at this low price.
