Domaine Philippe Bouzereau, Bourgogne Blanc, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France, 2022

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. Philippe cultivates a huge diversity of vineyard plots, from Aloxe-Corton in the north to Chassagne-Montrachet in the south, providing a multitude of small parcels with which to compose the ‘mosaic’ of his production. Using modest levels of new oak, refraining from ‘batonnage’ completely, he prefers to let the wine’s natural richness and flavour shine through.
