Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 92-94/100
The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru les Genevrières should offer more mineralité on the nose vis-a-vis the Meursault Charmes. It is more reserved, perhaps more Puligny in style, but very well focused and cerebral. The palate is vibrant on the entry with impressive depth and volume, a fine line of acidity, a touch of lemongrass towards the finish lending a spicy edge. It lingers nicely in the mouth with desiccated orange peel and quince jus, completing what will be a delicious Meursault Genevrières. Superb! Neil Martin - eRobertParker.com #220 Dec 2015

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

Domaine Michel Bouzereau

The Bouzereau clan is widespread in the village of Meursault, with Domaine Michel Bouzereau at the forefront. Michel Bouzereau comes from a large winemaking family and has held the post of President of the Burgundy Growers Union. His is a voice to be heard. And what he likes to talk about is the traditional way of making wine. He ferments in cask and gives his wines nine months on their lees. Determined that his wines will smell and taste only of wine, the importance of new wood is acknowledged but downplayed. Michel's son Jean Baptiste is now in charge of making the seventeen wines from this 11 hectare estate.
