A strikingly complex nose that becomes more complex as it opens with breadth of aromas including pear, flower, spice, and apple that complement its perfection. The rich and mouth coating flavors are built on a base of fine minerality and, coming from vines just 50 meters from the hallowed Le Montrachet vineyard, this is not a wine that disappoints. Will drink best from 2013-2016+.
Domaine Bouzereau et fils (Burgundy)
 Michel Bouzereau comes from a large winemaking family based in the village of Meursault and has held the post of President of the Burgundy Growers Union. His is a voice to be heard, and what he likes to talk about is the traditional way of making wine. The Bouzereau’s ferment their wines in cask, and give their wines nine months on the lees to impart as much flavor as possible. Determined that his wines will smell and taste only of wine, the importance of new wood is acknowledged but downplayed. Michel's son, Jean Baptiste (the 14th generation Bouzereau on this land), is now in charge of making the wines from this eleven hectare estate and has recently moved the winery from his father’s home to his new facility. Jean-Baptiste has respected his father's traditionalist practices, but he has instilled a fresher element to the wines which only enhances their appeal. These wines are benchmark examples for each of the vineyards represented. They can also age better than could be expected; the premiere crus of a good vintage will develop beautifully for 10+ years.
