Autumn in Burgundy - 89p

We’ve found a beautiful bottle from Burgundy to fit perfectly with the autumn season. 
This tasty white is made from 100% Aligoté, which is the only white grape, together with Chardonnay, that is allowed in Burgundy. It’s normally used as a blending grape in Chardonnay wines, but when done right it’s fantastic on its own. The high acidity level in this wine makes it a super cool match to many dishes. It’s quite a bargain and high value for money.

Tasting notes

​Benoît Charbonnaud Bouzeron Cuvée de l'Excellence 2020 - 199kr


Light yellow, with a touch of green.
Lovely smell of apples, ripe yellow fruits, fresh French herbs, butter, cream and toasted wood. Hints of citrus fruits.
Great mouth feel with citrus, apricots, apples and butter. Rich with good intensity and great acidity. Lovely and long finish.


With food
Will be great with rich white seafood dishes. Anything with loads of butter involved.
But also good with chicken, turkey and pork.
