Tasting notes

This parcel comes from Vincent’s grandmother on his mother’s side. It is actually a red Meursault since the appellation Volnay Santenots is located on Meursault village : "our Burgundian wine area has some secrets… This appellation has the largest size among all Volnay 1er Crus." 

This terroir gives fine, round and subbtle wines. garnet red, fine wine with flower and cherry scents. This wine is easy to drink when it is young, and it has a good ageing potentiel : 5-15 years.

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.
