2024 Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils Meursault Les Grands Charrons

100% Chardonnay

From vines planted in 1947, 1960, 1982, and 1992. Two hectares on an eastern-exposed slope. Limestone at the top of the hill and more soil at the bottom with stones due to erosion. The entire harvest comes from five parcels, 2/3 at the top of the slope and the rest from the bottom. Aged 16 months in barrel (10-15% new), then four months in tank. 

About Domaine Michel Bouzereau

Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils, a seventh-generation Meursault estate, is widely regarded as one of the appellation’s finest producers thanks to prime vineyard holdings and meticulous farming. Sixth-generation vigneron Michel expanded the family’s plots, and his son Jean-Baptiste has run the domaine since 1999, building a new winery in 2009 and shifting to organic (2005) and later biodynamic practices without formal certification. The estate prioritizes vineyard health and grape quality above all, harvesting by hand and vinifying with native yeast, minimal sulfur, and extended lees aging.

Chardonnays spend six to twelve months in barrel or tank before unfined, unfiltered bottling timed to lunar cycles, while reds are destemmed, cold-macerated, and aged twelve to sixteen months in oak. The result is a range of classic, impeccably sourced wines that reflect Jean-Baptiste’s understated winemaking philosophy. These are balanced, energetic, and complex wines without any single element dominating, making the domaine one of the most anticipated in the Martine’s portfolio.
