Domaine Vincent Bouzereau - Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Charmes' White 2023

Grape

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

The 2023 “Les Charmes” delivers the generosity and finesse expected from this celebrated Premier Cru. The colour is pale gold with green highlights. The bouquet opens with aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and citrus zest, layered with notes of acacia blossom, almond, and discreet toasted oak.

On the palate, the wine is ample and creamy yet beautifully poised, combining richness with a lively mineral backbone. Flavours of stone fruit and citrus are joined by hints of hazelnut and beurre noisette, leading to a long, elegant finish marked by salinity and tension.

More About The Winery

Based in the heart of Meursault, Vincent Bouzereau carries on a long family legacy in Burgundy while forging his own path. Nearly 30 years ago, Vincent established his domaine, patiently acquiring and restructuring vineyard plots across the Côte de Beaune, which today spans 18 hectares.

What makes the estate unique is its dedication to massal selection – a traditional technique passed down by Vincent’s father, Pierre. Instead of relying on clones, only the healthiest vines are chosen and propagated, preserving pre-phylloxera vine diversity and enhancing biodiversity, complexity, and authenticity in the wines.

The domaine produces a wide range of 21 wines (10 white and 11 red), from Bourgogne AOC up to Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings. While most vineyards are in Meursault, Bouzereau also cultivates parcels in Puligny-Montrachet, Monthélie, Auxey-Duresses, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, and Corton. Highlights include Meursault 1er Crus, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru, Volnay 1er Cru, and the Corton Grand Cru “Clos des Fietres.”

The style of Vincent Bouzereau is marked by precision, balance, and terroir expression — whites that combine freshness and minerality with depth, and reds that are elegant yet structured.
