Experience the exceptional elegance of Philippe Bouzereau Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres, an exquisite expression of Burgundy's famed terroir. Crafted by a family that has been cultivating vines in Meursault for nine generations, this wine embodies the heritage and meticulous care handed down over centuries. Grown on the renowned premier cru site of 'Les Genevrieres', this Chardonnay benefits from a prime eastern-facing slope, clay-limestone soils, and sustainable vineyard practices that champion biodiversity and minimal intervention. Gentle handling in the cellar, including fermentation on the lees with regular batonnage and ageing in French oak, allows the pure character and complexity of the vineyard to shine.
