Michel Bouzereau et Fils - Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Perrières' 2023

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. Michel’s 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. 

What makes Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils stand out is its emphasis on vineyards, both in their insistence on working prime locations and in the attention to detail of the farming that is carried out. The quality of grapes is paramount, hewing to the adage that only excellent grapes can make excellent wines. Soil health is a prime focus, as is maintenance of healthy vines throughout the growing season, with careful pruning and yield management. Jean Baptiste decided to start working organically in 2005 and has slowly moved toward biodynamic principles in the past 10 years, without seeking any certification, so only natural products are used in the vineyards.
