Producer Profile

Philippe Bouzereau is the 9th generation of a family of vine-growers in Meursault.

Following on from his father he took responsibility for the management of this fine 18 hectare Domaine back in 2006, helped by his brother Charles. With the well-being of the vineyards at heart, his team practice minimum intervention to enable the vines to develop naturally and healthily. His emblematic wine is the 1.7ha monopole Meursault ‘Vieux Clos du Château de Cîteaux’, produced from a single parcel of vines planted by his father.

Viticulture

‘Les Boutonniers’ lies on a well-exposed slope near Meursault, with limestone-rich soils that enhance mineral expression. The vineyard is sustainably farmed with thoughtful canopy management and manual harvesting to ensure optimal ripeness and aromatic precision.

Winemaking

Grapes are gently pressed and fermented using native yeasts. Aged for 10–12 months in French oak barrels (around 15–20% new), with regular lees stirring to add roundness and complexity while retaining purity and finesse.

Tasting Note

Fresh yet subtly rounded, this white Burgundy shows delicate aromas of crisp orchard fruit, lemon zest, and white blossom, layered with hints of hazelnut and wet stone. The palate is vibrant and textured, with clean acidity and a lightly creamy finish.

Food Matching

Seared scallops and pea purée, roast guinea fowl with lemon thyme, or herbed goat’s cheese tart.
