Domaine Michel Bouzereau
The Bouzereau family has been living in Meursault for seven generations to cultivate vines there. Over the years and thanks to his work, Michel enlarged the vineyard inherited from his father. Jean-Baptiste, his son, joined him on the estate twenty years later: he learned the trade at his side for ten years and together they acquired some prestigious plots. In 1999, Michel left it to Jean-Baptiste to manage the family property of 10.5 hectares with the same passion. In 2008, always keen to improve the quality of the wines, he decided to build a new structure and, since the 2009 harvest, the entire farm is located at 5, rue Robert Thénard, still in the center of the village of Meursault.
Description
Barrel sample. Outstanding sweet spot. "A super-fresh nose freely offers up aromas of mineral reduction, pear, lemon-lime and an interesting hint of gardenia blossom, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. Like the Genevrières, the medium weight flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel along with an almost pungent minerality that adds a sense of lift to the equally chiseled, bone-dry and powerful finale. This isn't quite as refined as the Genevrières but there is already more depth presented in a built-to-age package. Drink 2031+" AM
Food Pairing
Pairs well with smoked salmon, oven baked bream and lobster.
