The wine
A classic Bouzeron Aligoté. Vibrant on the nose with citrus fruits, white peach and subtle blossom. Bright and clean on the palate.
Bouzeron is the only appellation in Burgundy dedicated solely to Aligoté, granted village status in 1998 largely through the advocacy of Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, who farms there. Les Louères is a named parcel. Hand harvested and whole-bunch pressed gently, which suits a variety whose appeal is its cut.

Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi
View all Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi winesDomaine du Château Philippe le Hardi is one of Burgundy largest single estates, centred on a historic château in the Côte Chalonnaise. Named for the medieval Duke Philip the Bold, who championed Pinot Noir, it farms an impressive spread from Mercurey to the grand crus of the Côte d'Or. Few domaines offer such range.
The estate farms sustainably across a mosaic of terroirs, vinifying each with care and well-judged oak. From everyday Bourgogne to grand cru, the wines share a house signature of balance, freshness, and polish. There is real quality at every level.
The range spans crisp Chalonnaise whites, characterful Mercurey reds, and a fine selection of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune crus. Each traces the character of its appellation with confidence.
To pour a Philippe le Hardi wine is to taste the breadth of Burgundy from a single, storied estate. Polished, balanced, and dependable, these are wines for every table.
