Bouzeron

A village of distinction and excellence

In the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, Bouzeron stands out as one of the most distinctive villages in the Burgundy wine region. Nestled amongst hillsides and vineyards, it owes its fame to its Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC), dedicated exclusively to the Aligoté grape variety, which is something of an exception here in Burgundy.

The village offers an authentic setting where rural heritage, wine cellars and vineyard landscapes blend harmoniously. Its narrow streets, stone houses and the rows of vines that surround it offer an immediate immersion in the Burgundian way of life.

Hugging the hillsides, the paths winding through the vineyards reveal stunning panoramic views of the Côte Chalonnaise, inviting you to take a stroll and discover a landscape shaped over centuries by the vine.

The only village with an appellation dedicated to Aligoté

Bouzeron is the only village in Burgundy to lend its name to an appellation exclusively dedicated to Aligoté. Recognised as a communal AOC since 1997, it has made this white grape variety – with its lively, youthful and fruity character – a true hallmark of the region and the Côte Chalonnaise.
