2023 Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley Bourgogne Aligoté, Burgundy, FranceABOUT THIS WINE Thomas has focused on identifying the unique personality and composition of each of his 29 plots throughout Volnay, Pommard, Beaune and Meursault, and on the periphery of these appellations. This has actually allowed the vines to gather more rays of sun, filling the vines with energy which befits his style there is no green harvesting and no fertilizer, so the vine produces more bunches but with smaller, more intensely flavored

which he describes as an evidence-based methodology that involves all living organisms in an environment and the energies they exert on one another
