Meursault Les Grands Charrons Michel Bouzereau et Fils (Domaine) 2005

The wine

The Bouzereau family has been growing vines in Meursault for seven generations. Today, Jean-Baptiste Bouzereau cultivates this ten-hectare vineyard, including some excellent terroirs in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Volnay and Beaune. The emphasis is on vineyard work, with the utmost respect for the environment and the soil, and the winemaking process is precise and skilful. His wines are precise, elegant and drinkable; and although the grower may be unassuming, the results he obtains still earn plaudits from critics.
Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils exploits 1.5 hectares of this Meursault Villages-classified parcel. The vines were planted gradually between 1951 and 1992, lending a vieilles vignes component to this wine. The vinification and élevage processes are conducted in oak barrels, prior to a short spell in stainless steel tanks. This Meursault delivers aromas of dried fruit and almond, along with a remarkable minerality, richness and fullness on the palate.

About the Producer Michel Bouzereau et Fils

In 1999, Jean-Baptiste officially took over Domaine Michel Bouzereau, proudly adding ‘et fils' to the estate name. This producer inherited a well-established family history, since the Bouzereaus have been making wine in Meursault for 7 generations. Observant and attentive, Jean-Baptiste spends most of his time in the vineyard, carefully watching the vines and working on the soil, convinced as he is that healthy fruit is the key to fine wine. The vines are grown sustainably with a philosophy moving towards organics. In 2008, he finished working on his new winery, giving him much more space to take care of each of his cuvées individually and adapt to their rhythm. The wines all come from parcels in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Pommard and Volnay, each of them increasingly appreciated for their elegance and finesse. Each of them respect the specificity of terroir and vintage.
