Producer

Domaine Michel Bouzereau is one of the rapidly rising stars of Meursault. Michel himself has recently retired, leaving the domaine in the hands of his son Jean-Baptiste, who joined in 1991, aged twenty, and has since propelled the domaine to ever greater levels. He has made a few recent changes: now all the vineyards are ploughed and no systemic fungicides are used, and the elevage has been refined, producing wines that are richer, more precise and with greater ageing potential than before.

Vineyard

The domaine owns two hectares of the lieu-dit Les Grands Charrons, which is located in line with the Meursault premiers crus, at the same altitude and a little further north. The vine age is varied, having been planted between 1950 and 1992. The tendency is increasingly towards organic viticulture.

Winery

The wine was fermented and aged for twelve months in oak, with twenty percent new wood and only occasional lees-stirring, then spent around three months in tank before bottling.
