Information
Situated in Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the estate is expertly run by Vincent Bouzereau and his wife Aline, who are also discerning gourmets and have added new buildings to their estate. Like many in this world, wine runs in the veins of this producer whose winegrowing origins date back to the 19th century. As for Aline Bouzereau, her passion for wine comes from her ancestors, who were Burgundy wine merchants, and from her father, a skilled wine taster. Today, Vincent and Aline Bouzereau are delighted to see their six children developing a taste for this world. Two of them, Louis and Clotilde, have joined the estate.
Conscious of the natural heritage they possess (“a gift from God”), the Bouzereau family spare no effort, working in the vineyard all year round and caring for it using integrated pest management. In the cellar, patience and diligence are essential. Alcoholic fermentation is triggered by the naturally present yeasts. This helps to preserve the character of the vintage and the terroir. The wines are matured in oak barrels for 10 to 18 months, depending on the cuvée. Bottling takes place after little or no filtration respecting the lunar calendar.
This estate has around ten hectares spread over eight villages, producing fine wines made with talent, passion, tradition and respect. Vincent and Aline are keen to keep their prices reasonable in relation to the market, so that their customers can continue to enjoy their wines. For winelovers, that means unbeatable value for money!
This wine has been created by blending Aligoté grapes from two plots. The first is planted with vines that are more than 70 years old and has been in the family for years. While the other contains the first vines, now about 30 years old, acquired by Vincent Bouzereau when he started to work at the estate in the 1990s. Both plots can be found in Meursault and as few chemicals as possible are used there. The hand-harvested grapes are sorted at the vine and pressed as soon as they arrive in the cellar. After being left to settle for 24 hours, the juice starts to ferment thanks to the natural yeasts present. The wine then matures for 10 to 12 months, with half of it going into oak barrels and the other half into stainless steel vats.
The Aligoté reveals all of its freshness in this lively wine with notes of white flowers and aniseed on the nose. The very supple palate is full of citrus fruits flavours. This is a wine to be enjoyed when it’s two years old as an apéritif with a meat board or paired with fish baked in parcels.
