Domaine Philippe Bouzereau Les Boutonnières – Auxey-Duresses – White – 2023:

 

The Meursault Neighbor: Value & Pure Elegance

From the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the Auxey-Duresses ‘Les Boutonnières’ Organic White Wine from Domaine Philippe Bouzereau is a stunning, high-value alternative to its famous neighbors. This 100% Chardonnay is farmed organically, yielding a wine of exceptional purity and structure.

Tasting Profile: Citrus, Cream, and Flint

This is a serious white Burgundy. It undergoes a careful 12-month aging process in French oak barrels (around 20% new) with regular lees stirring to build texture while preserving its terroir-driven freshness.

• Aroma: A vibrant nose of fresh lemon curd, green apple, and a touch of flinty minerality, complemented by subtle, luxurious hints of vanilla and almond from the oak.
• Palate: Full-bodied and beautifully structured. The palate delivers rich, creamy texture and a precise, long finish marked by zesty citrus and a savory, saline minerality.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

Serve chilled (54-57°F) to unlock the wine’s full aromatic complexity. A must-have for any collector seeking authentic, organic Burgundy quality.

• Top Pairing: Seared Sea Scallops with Brown Butter and Herbs.
• Gourmet Pairing: Lobster Risotto or Roasted Guinea Fowl with Lemon-Thyme.
