Michel Bouzereau et Fils Meursault Les Tessons, 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 “Les Tessons” comes from a 0.5 ha site planted between 1958 and 1989, just above Les Grands Charrons on clay-limestone and red-earth soils. The family farms organically and vinifies with precision to emphasize mineral clarity and site transparency.
Aged 16–18 months in 25% new oak, the wine shows focused acidity, layered citrus and pear fruit, and a saline backbone. A benchmark lieu-dit Meursault with elegance, texture, and age-worthy depth.
