The Bourgogne Vézelay Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) is a hidden gem in the Burgundy region of France. Nestled in the charming Vézelien landscape, this AOC is distinguished by its white wines, primarily made from the Chardonnay grape variety. The vineyards covering this small area benefit from a unique terroir of limestone and marl soils, which imparts a pronounced minerality and distinct freshness to the wines.
Bourgogne Vézelay wines are characterized by their delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus, and white-fleshed fruits. On the palate, they offer a lovely liveliness, accompanied by a creamy texture and a fine saline note on the finish. These balanced and refined wines are perfect for pairing with seafood, fish, and goat cheese.
