The 2022 Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley Bourgogne Aligoté is a refined and expressive Burgundy white, crafted from old-vine Aligoté grown on clay-limestone soils near Meursault. Made with a minimal-intervention approach and aged in tank to preserve freshness, it highlights purity and precision. The nose is bright and lifted, with green apple, lemon zest and pear layered with white flowers and subtle herbal notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp, zesty acidity, showing citrus, orchard fruit and a chalky mineral edge. The texture is clean and slightly rounded, leading to a fresh, lively and gently savoury finish. The style is vibrant, mineral-driven and elegant, offering clarity and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Aligoté and a great alternative to classic Chardonnay. Ideal for customers who enjoy crisp, mineral whites with freshness and subtle texture. Not simple—precise, lively and quietly complex. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with oysters, seafood or light French dishes.
