Domaine M. Bouzereau
I have been lucky to meet Jean-Baptiste Bouzereau (son of Michel) a few times over the years, and with his sophisticated manner and blondish hair he appears as structured and elegant as the family’s style of wines.
The office where he receives visitors for tastings is also remarkable, with the oversized windows, glass tables, and light color scheme one does not usually find in Burgundy. These observations are interesting because there is quite a connection between the style of the wines and the men who created them.
During the tasting, we tried different vineyards in Meursault, with Jean-Baptiste pointing out the subtle differences in flavor with the help of a vineyard map. Some of the climats had very different terroir (clay vs. limestone) and the 1st cru wines we tried were striking in terms of their power, concentration, and length. I liked the 1st cru of Les Genevrieres very much.
It was a fabulous visit, and many thanks to Jeanne-Marie De Champs of Domaines et Saveurs (who imports his wine to the USA) for arranging it.
