Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or Vincent Bouzereau (Domaine) 2020

The wine

Part of a family line established in Meursault for over ten generations, Vincent Bouzereau has been working on his vines since 1990 in the Côte de Beaune, across the villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Monthelie, Auxey-Duresses, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune and Aloxe-Corton. The domain produces both red and white cuvées. The vines are grown sustainably, and the harvests are carried out by hand. Fermentation takes place only with indigenous yeasts and this is followed by an 18-month maturation in oak barrels (30% new wood). This is a pure and delicate wine with a delicate character to liven the palate.

About the Producer Vincent Bouzereau

Situated in Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the estate is expertly run by Vincent Bouzereau and his wife Aline, who are also discerning gourmets and have added new buildings to their estate. Like many in this world, wine runs in the veins of this producer whose winegrowing origins date back to the 19th century. As for Aline Bouzereau, her passion for wine comes from her ancestors, who were Burgundy wine merchants, and from her father, a skilled wine taster. Today, Vincent and Aline Bouzereau are delighted to see their six children developing a taste for this world. Two of them, Louis and Clotilde, have joined the estate.
Conscious of the natural heritage they possess (“a gift from God”), the Bouzereau family spare no effort, working in the vineyard all year round and caring for it using integrated pest management. In the cellar, patience and diligence are essential. Alcoholic fermentation is triggered by the naturally present yeasts. This helps to preserve the character of the vintage and the terroir. The wines are matured in oak barrels for 10 to 18 months, depending on the cuvée. Bottling takes place after little or no filtration respecting the lunar calendar.
This estate has around ten hectares spread over eight villages, producing fine wines made with talent, passion, tradition and respect. Vincent and Aline are keen to keep their prices reasonable in relation to the market, so that their customers can continue to enjoy their wines. For winelovers, that means unbeatable value for money!
