The 2023 Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Bourgogne Aligoté is a vibrant and refreshing white Burgundy that highlights the charm of the Aligoté grape. Produced by the highly regarded Bouley family in the Côte de Beaune, this wine showcases purity, energy and mineral freshness, offering a lively alternative to Chardonnay while retaining a distinctly Burgundian character.
The nose is bright and aromatic, revealing notes of lemon zest, green apple and grapefruit alongside delicate floral hints and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is light-bodied and crisp, with refreshing acidity and flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and a touch of wet stone minerality. The finish is clean, dry and energetic, making it particularly enjoyable in its youth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday white Burgundy for those who enjoy fresh, zesty and food-friendly wines. Its bright acidity and clean profile make it an excellent match for oysters, grilled prawns, fresh salads or goat's cheese. Best enjoyed well chilled over the next 2–4 years while its vibrant fruit and freshness are at their peak.
