A fresh clean, classic Meursault with bright crisp yet ripe full flavors. Intense flavors that include apple, pear, and hazelnut notes. The finish is vibrant and glycerin with a touch of influence from the 20% new oak. Crisp enough to be enjoyed as an aperitif, but certainly has the strength and body to handle a meal of grilled chicken, lightly sauced white fish or salads. This is village Meursault at its finest from the well respected plot in Les Grands Charrons, which is located immediately behind the family home. Will drink best from 2012-2014.
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.
