Michel Bouzereau, Meursault

The Michel Bouzereau domaine owns 11 hectares mainly of Chardonnay in Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, but also with a bit of red wine land in Beaune, Pommard and Volnay. Michel’s son Jean-Baptiste took over the running of this entirely family-owned domaine in 1999 and has since then introduced many improvements including entirely renovating the winery in 2009 along with a new barrel program. Vines are tended organically with some biodynamic practises also used.

Bouzereau is in many ways one of the more traditional producers in the area – wines are fermented in cask, following which they spend around 12 months on lees in barrel, and finally they are left to mature in older wood until bottling in their second winter. These are enchanting wines which we warmly recommend; there is great purity and energy, yet stone fruit density with spice and mineral citrus complexity.

We offer the following Meursault from Michel Bouzereau et Fils:
