The 2021 Bouzeron (Domaine Gagey) is a strong effort in a vintage that actually tended to favor Aligoté, which is more resilient after frost and more resistant to downy mildew than Chardonnay. Exhibiting notions of citrus zest, vanilla pod and crisp green apple, it's medium-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with tangy acids and a penetrating finish.

Already bottled, the 2020 Bouzeron (Domaine Gagey) offers up aromas of pear, green apple, lime cordial and fresh pastry. Medium-bodied, bright and tangy, with chalky grip and a saline finish, it's a fine success.

The 2019 Bouzeron (Domaine Gagey) offers up aromas of crisp green apple, pear and creamy new oak, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy and precise palate that shows an alliance of plenitude with tension typical of fully mature Aligoté.

Bursting with aromas of fresh pear, orange oil and pastry cream, the 2018 Bouzeron (Domaine Gagey) is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with racy varietal acids and an elegantly chalky finish.

The 2017 Bouzeron (Domaine Gagey) is attractive, displaying aromas of crisp green apple, citrus zest and a judicious touch of oak, followed by a medium-bodied palate with juicy acids, a succulent core of fruit and a chalky finish. It's a very creditable example of the appellation.
