Bouzeron

CLOS DE LA FORTUNE - MONOPOLY
White Wine

0,00 € (75 cl)

Situated on either side of an ancient valley, part of Bouzeron's vineyards face west, which is ideal for the Aligoté grape variety. One of the most prestigious Climats... Situated on either side of a very old valley, the Bouzeron vineyards are partly exposed to the west, which enchants the Aligoté grape variety. Among the most famous Climats is the "Clos de la Fortune". Its south-east exposure is excellent. The name of this Climat should be taken literally! It comes from the Latin FORTUNA, meaning "happy fortune, happiness, luck". The wall that can be seen above this Climat is probably the remnant of a wall from the site's fortified enclosure. See more

Technical data

Terroir

Bouzeron's soils were formed during the Oxfordian, in the Upper Jurassic period: 163 to 157 million years ago (the time of the first birds and the great dinosaurs). These are calcareous sedimentary rocks, interspersed with banks of marl (greyer soil). Fossils and limestone (silica trapped in the limestone) are found.

Palate: rich and structured, with marked volume on the mid-palate, balanced by a slight salinity.
Finish: persistent, this wine has excellent ageing potential, and can evolve favorably over 5 years in the cellar.

Food & wine pairing

This well-structured wine with a lingering finish goes well with tasty, gourmet dishes and fruity desserts:
Wood-grilled chicken, gnocchi with pesto: the richness of the wine harmonizes with the texture of the chicken and the aromatic character of the pesto.
Fresh tagliatelle with carbonara: the dish's creaminess is balanced by the wine's structure and salinity.
Fresh fruit salad (banana, white peach, apple, grapes, grapefruit): the salad's freshness and fruity diversity are perfectly matched by the wine's aromatic palette.
