Domaine Philippe Bouzereau | Meursault

The Bouzereau family has been rooted in the vineyards of Meursault for nine generations, with brothers Charles and Philippe currently at the helm of Domaine Philippe Bouzereau. The estate is anchored at the historic Château de Cîteaux right in the heart of the village, managing eighteen hectares of vines that stretch from Aloxe-Corton in the north down to Chassagne-Montrachet. Their approach in the vineyard focuses on minimum intervention, allowing the natural health of the soils to dictate the resulting fruit.

In the cellar, the focus is entirely on preserving the distinct identity of each small parcel. The brothers avoid heavy-handed winemaking techniques, using only modest levels of new oak and completely refraining from stirring the lees. This hands-off philosophy ensures that the natural richness, texture, and vibrant acidity of their Burgundy wines shine through without being masked by excessive wood influence.

The estate boasts a remarkable jewel within its holdings: a walled monopole vineyard located directly inside the grounds of the Château de Cîteaux. This enclosed plot provides the fruit for their highly sought-after signature Meursault, offering a direct taste of the village's deep winemaking history from vines sheltered by the estate's own ancient walls.
