The Bouzereau family is part of the fabric of Meursault, making wine in the village for seven generations. While today there are five domaines bearing the Bouzereau name, Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils is acknowledged as not only the best of them but also one of the top producers in the appellation. Their years of experience and connections have endowed them with some of the top plots in the top crus as a result they craft some of the best, most balanced wines in Meursault.

Sixth generation vigneron Michel was able to expand the family vineyards he inherited, cementing the Bouzereau name as an authoritative leader in the region. Michels son Jean-Baptiste joined the family estate twenty years after his father took over and has been running the domaine since 1999. He has carried on the family name while continuing to make improvements, building a new winery in 2009 in central Meursault.

“According to Jean-Baptiste Bouzereau, ‘This is the Grand Charron of our premiers crus,’ referring to the approachable, Meursault-like character, which delivers lush aromas of ripe apples, acacia flowers and a balanced acidity that lead into an impressively long finish. The grapes are from 0.43ha, fairly low on the slope of Champs-Gains, close to La Truffire; they are slowly pressed and fermented in cask, 25% new. The wine ages a year in cask and another four months in tank before bottling.”Decanter 94
