Pascal Bouchard - Bourgogne Aligoté
Located in the heart of the Chablis region, Maison Pascal Bouchard offers a full range of wines from Chablis and the Grand Auxerrois region, spreading over 40 hectares. Pascal Bouchard is one of the leading negociants, working closely with small quality groomed growers. The impressive modern cuverie is perfectly suited to the highest quality requirement with crop handled by gravity, possibility to vinify micro-cuvées separately thanks to a park of various tank sizes, and an underground thermo-regulated wine cellar to allow the wines to age perfectly. All the bottling and shipping is done on site. In 2015 Maison Pascal Bouchard got purchased by Burgundy Maison Albert Bichot, also proprietor of Chablis Château Long-Depaquit. The two entities share their respective knowledge, even though they are run and managed separately. Pascal Bouchard wines have a strong presence in the domestic market but they are also exported to 40 countries around the world.
100% aligoté - Vinified and aged 8 months in tanks.
This wine exhibits great aromatic concentration with notes of freshly cut apples, orange pith, white peach and sun-baked pears all enveloped in a delicate veil of white flowers, fresh earth and hay. The palate is lively, featuring salinity and hints of light green herbs, while maintaining a dainty and light demeanor. A beautiful choice for a summer day.
