BEHIND THE WINE

This wine hails from Bouzeron, an appellation established by decree in 1998, dedicated solely to Aligoté grapes cultivated in the southern Mâcon village that shares its name. It comes from the exceptional yet extremely limited 2022 vintage.

Originally a pharmacist from County Mayo, she honed her skills in some of France's most renowned vineyards, such as Château Latour and Château Grillet.
