Region

The combined north to south strip of Burgundy`s finest vineyard regions; the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. It is here on the narrow band of iron and limestone soils that the most widely acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are cultivated.

Producer

The domaine is in the village of Meursault, and Michel Bouzereau`s son, Jean Baptiste, is now in charge of making the seventeen wines from the 18 hectare estate. He has respected his father`s more traditional practices but has instilled a fresher, livelier element to the wines, which only enhances their appeal.

Tasting (Long)

This distinguished grower creates rich and voluptuious Meursaults, exotic with the bouquet of toasted hazelnut, almond and butterscotch yet elegant and supple with a hint of toasted oak.

Tasting (Short)
