Michel Bouzereau et Fils Meursault Le Limozin, Cote de Beaune, France 2023
The Bouzereau family is part of the fabric of Meursault, making wine in the village for seven generations. While today there are five domaines bearing the Bouzereau name, Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils is acknowledged as not only the best of them but also one of the top producers in the appellation. Their years of experience and connections have endowed them with some of the top plots in the top crus – as a result they craft some of the best, most balanced wines in Meursault.
Sixth generation vigneron Michel was able to expand the family vineyards he inherited, cementing the Bouzereau name as an authoritative leader in the region. Michel’s son Jean-Baptiste joined the family estate twenty years after his father took over and has been running the domaine since 1999. He has carried on the family name while continuing to make improvements, building a new winery in 2009 in central Meursault.
The 2023 Meursault “Le Limozin” comes from a 0.4 ha parcel just below Genevrières and Charmes, replanted in 2017 using massal selection. Set on classic clay-limestone soils, the site is farmed organically with a focus on elegance and site transparency.
Aged 12 months in 15–25% new oak, then briefly in tank, the wine balances richness and drive with lifted citrus, hazelnut, and white floral notes. A poised, mineral-driven Meursault that shows both depth and finesse.
