Michel Bouzereau Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru 2023

Michel Bouzereau Meursault Perrières 1er Cru 2023 is a compelling expression of one of Meursault’s most renowned premier cru sites, where Chardonnay takes on remarkable depth, precision, and mineral drive. From a producer known for crafting refined Burgundies with clarity and balance, this wine combines the richness associated with Meursault and the chiselled elegance that makes Perrières so highly prized.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous golden straw color with plenty of brightness. The nose is layered and expressive, offering citrus peel, white flowers, ripe pear, and subtle stone-fruit notes, often underscored by flinty mineral tones, hazelnut, and a delicate touch of oak. On the palate, expect a finely structured white Burgundy with concentration and lift in equal measure. The wine is usually broad and textured, yet focused by a strong mineral spine, with flavors of lemon curd, orchard fruit, crushed stone, and a hint of spice. It should age beautifully, gaining complexity over the next 8–12 years and potentially longer in a good cellar.

Production
Perrières is one of the most celebrated terroirs in Meursault, distinguished by its stony, limestone-rich soils that naturally favor tension, precision, and depth in Chardonnay. The fruit is typically harvested by hand to preserve quality, then vinified with great care to maintain purity of fruit and terroir expression. Fermentation and élevage in oak barrels are usually managed to provide structure and subtle complexity without overpowering the wine’s mineral character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that complement both its richness and its energy, such as lobster, scallops, roast chicken, veal in cream sauce, or fine mushroom dishes. It also works well with mature hard cheeses. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes if the wine is showing tightly in its youth.
