2018 Domaine Philippe Garrey Les Clous Bouzeron

The 2018 Domaine Philippe Garrey “Les Clous” Bouzeron is a distinctive expression of Aligoté, the grape that defines Bouzeron in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise. The wine offers an elegant and mineral-driven profile, with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, acacia blossom, and fresh almond, accented by subtle flinty and herbal notes. On the palate, it is bright and focused, with lively acidity, a silky texture, and layers of citrus and orchard fruit supported by chalky minerality and a pronounced saline character. With the added complexity of bottle age, the finish is long and savory, revealing hints of hazelnut and dried flowers. Fresh, precise, and wonderfully food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, goat cheese, grilled fish, salads, and other delicate dishes.
