Seven generations of Bouzereau have farmed the hallowed vines of Meursault. Domaine Michel Bouzereau was set up by Jean-Baptiste’s father. In 1999 Jean-Baptiste took over running the 10.5ha domaine with his focus remaining on the vineyards. The approach is in line with nature, avoiding pesticides, chemical fertilisers and timing practices such as bottling around the lunar calendar. There is recognition of the fact that each terroir needs different handling allowing each plot, every aspect, the freedom to demonstrate a certain equilibrium and defined precision in the glass. Their Bourgogne Côte d’Or Chardonnay, made from young Meursault vines, is a testament to the quality of the soil and the great work that Jean-Baptiste does here.
