Beaune Les Vignes Franches 1er Cru Bouzereau Michel, 2023

Bouzereau Michel’s Beaune Les Vignes Franches 1er Cru is a classic Burgundy offering from one of the region’s most respected names, bringing together finesse, freshness, and the depth you’d expect from a premier cru site in Beaune. The 2023 vintage promises an elegant, terroir-driven expression that reflects both the charm of the village and the pedigree of its vineyard.

Tasting Notes
Typically showing a bright ruby hue in its youth, this wine is expected to open with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, and subtle earthy spice, with a touch of oak adding refinement rather than dominance. On the palate, it should be precise and silky, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a balanced core of red fruit, минераlity, and savory nuance. Like many well-made Beaune premiers crus, it has the potential to evolve gracefully over the coming years, gaining more complexity, depth, and forest-floor character with bottle age.

Production
Les Vignes Franches is a premier cru vineyard in Beaune, where the soils and exposure help produce wines with both generosity and structure. In Burgundy, careful hand-harvesting and gentle vinification are typically key to preserving the purity of fruit and the site’s distinct character, with élevage in oak often used to support the wine without overpowering it.

Food & Serving
This style of Burgundy pairs beautifully with roast poultry, duck breast, game birds, mushroom dishes, and veal, as well as soft, mild cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young to allow the aromas to fully unfold.

Bouzereau Michel is a respected Burgundy producer associated with thoughtful, terroir-focused winemaking in the Côte de Beaune. The estate is known for crafting wines that express balance, purity, and a clear sense of place, making it a valued reference for lovers of traditional Burgundy.
