About this wine
Bouzeron sits at the northern edge of the Côte Chalonnaise, the only village appellation in Burgundy required to plant Aligoté Doré, a finer-skinned, lower-yielding form of the variety than the more common Aligoté Vert.
Château de Garnerot's Les Louères is fermented with native yeasts and aged in oak. The estate's tasting notes describe the cuvée through floral aromatics, tropical and citrus fruit, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Aroma
For this cuvée, the estate describes acacia and white flowers opening onto mango and other exotic fruit, citrus, honey and a light hazelnut note, with a touch of iodine.
Palate
The cuvée is described with rich minerality, pleasant roundness and a long finish.

At the table
Les Louères' iodine, minerality and gentle roundness create natural bridges across several culinary traditions.
The wine's saline edge and floral-citrus register make it a flexible partner at the table, particularly with dishes that share a similar lightness and marine or herbal character.
Japanese
- White fish sashimi (sea bream or flounder)
- Sake-steamed clams
- Lightly salted tempura
Why it worksThe wine's iodine and mineral character echoes the marine notes of raw and lightly cooked seafood, while its roundness softens the salt in tempura.
Thai
- Steamed sea bass with lime (mild)
- Pomelo and shrimp salad (mild)
- Grilled seafood
Why it worksCitrus and mild chili notes in these dishes align with the wine's own citrus lift, while its minerality supports the seafood's natural sweetness.
Western
- Escargot in the Burgundian style
- Jambon persillé (parsleyed ham)
- Fresh goat cheese
Why it worksThese are classic partners for Bouzeron's Aligoté-based whites, where the wine's minerality and gentle roundness suit the traditional gastronomy of the region.
From cellar to bottle
Winemaking
Fermentation begins with native, wild yeasts directly in wood, followed by around 10 to 12 months of oak aging.
Product detail
The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, in keeping with the estate's standard practice; farming at Château de Garnerot follows biodynamic-influenced methods at the estate level, including lunar-calendar timing for some vineyard work.
Origin
Bouzeron was elevated to village-appellation status in 1997, a change closely tied to Aubert de Villaine, co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and founder of Domaine A. et P. de Villaine.
