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 red Coteaux Bourguignons is from a parcel located on the plains below Volnay. That is where these roughly forty-year-old Pinot Noir vines grow on the limestone-clay soil. Grown with a few chemicals as possible, the grapes are harvested by hand, meticulously sorted on a table as they arrive at the cellar to preserve the perfectly ripe and healthy grapes. The grapes are then destemmed before being placed in open vats for natural yeasts to start the temperature-controlled fermentation. Racking is carried out twice a day to improve extraction, but no punching down occurs in order to preserve the fruit. After pressing, the wine is placed into oak barrels to mature for ten to twelve months. It is bottled after slight filtration, if necessary.
An excellent wine to be enjoyed at any time. This purple-coloured cuvée is completed by flavours of fruits and spices and the supple and juicy palate is perfectly balanced. Definitely a wine to be enjoyed while it’s still young.
