Michel Bouzereau is a Burgundy wine producer based in Meursault, one of the Côte de Beaune's most celebrated white wine villages. The domaine focuses on crafting Chardonnay wines from this renowned appellation, where the combination of limestone-rich soils and optimal exposure creates ideal conditions for producing complex, mineral-driven white wines.

Meursault is distinguished by its ability to produce Chardonnay wines that balance richness with elegance, typically displaying notes of butter, hazelnut, and citrus alongside a characteristic mineral backbone. The village's premier cru vineyards, including Les Tessons, are known for producing wines with greater concentration and aging potential than the village-level appellations. These wines often develop honeyed complexity with bottle age while maintaining their essential freshness.

The current offering from Michel Bouzereau includes a Meursault Les Tessons, a premier cru vineyard located on the slope above the village. This vineyard is known for producing wines with good structure and minerality, representing the classic style of Meursault premier cru Chardonnay.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
