Presentation
Coming from a lineage of winemakers settled in Meursault for over 10 generations, Domaine Vincent Bouzereau cultivates 10 hectares of vines on prestigious climates. The whites, dominated by Chardonnay, are vinified with fermentation in barrels and prolonged aging of 18 months, favoring a beautiful tension and complex aromatic depth. Thanks to traditional vaulted cellars, the wines benefit from optimal aging with a moderate wood contribution, preserving their freshness and elegance. The reds, made from Pinot Noir, offer an aromatic palette blending red fruits, undergrowth, and sweet spices, with a silky and balanced palate. The great mastery of long aging within the estate allows obtaining wines with a finished structure and exceptional aging potential.
