2021 Sylvain Pataille Bouzeron, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2021 Bouzeron from Sylvain Pataille is crafted from 100% Aligoté, the lesser-known white grape of Burgundy, sourced from vineyards in the appellation of Bouzeron, the only AOC in Burgundy dedicated to Aligoté. Pataille, known for his commitment to organic and biodynamic practices, vinifies this wine with minimal intervention, allowing the purity of the fruit and the terroir to shine through. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in neutral oak, preserving the wine’s freshness and delicate character. This Bouzeron is a versatile white wine that pairs beautifully with seafood, fresh salads, and light appetizers.
