Sourced from one of the village’s most celebrated Premier Cru sites, it combines depth, precision, and the kind of limestone-driven elegance that has made Les Perrières a benchmark terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a clear, bright gold color with excellent definition. The nose is refined and layered, offering notes of citrus, white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, hazelnut, and subtle oak spice, all carried by a distinctly mineral, chalky edge.\n\nOn the palate, this is structured and precise, with a silky texture balanced by firm acidity and a long, saline finish. The fruit is pure and focused rather than heavy, giving the wine both immediate appeal and the backbone to age gracefully for many years, developing more complex notes of brioche, honey, and toasted nuts over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from Les Perrières, a Premier Cru site in Meursault known for its stony, limestone-rich soils that naturally favor tension, finesse, and mineral expression. Domaine Philippe Bouzereau farms its vineyards manually without synthetic fertilizers, with harvest done by hand to preserve grape quality and allow careful sorting.\n\nVinification follows a traditional Burgundian approach, with fermentation in oak barrels at low temperature on the lees. The use of new oak is kept measured so the terroir remains front and center, while lees contact adds texture, depth, and complexity to the finished wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Meursault 1er Cru is an excellent match for lobster, scallops, roast chicken, veal in cream sauce, or fine fish dishes with beurre blanc. It also pairs beautifully with mushroom risotto and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 10–12°C, and decanting is usually not necessary, though a brief aeration can help if the wine is young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bouzereau family has been rooted in Meursault for seven generations, giving the domaine deep knowledge of the local vineyards and their nuances. In 1999, Michel Bouzereau handed the estate to his son Jean-Baptiste, who now runs the 11-hectare domaine across 32 parcels in top sites throughout Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Under his stewardship, the wines have reached an even higher level of precision and purity, earning strong praise among Burgundy lovers for their clarity, balance, and faithful expression of terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Philippe Bouzereau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252095537489,"sku":"FW-6632","price":267.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/meursault_perrieres.png?v=1783443132","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-michel-bouzereau-meursault-1er-cru-les-perrieres-2018","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
