Domaine Vincent Bouzereau
Produced in small quantities by small domaines, finding Burgundy wine can be difficult from the offset. Vincent may very well be the needle in a veritable haystack of Meursault winemakers, confusingly also named Bouzereau. Vincent’s ancestors first settled in Meursault in the 16th century, begetting many members sharing the family name in the village today.

Amidst the myriad of Bouzereaus in Meursault, there is one bon-vivant winegrower in particular who stands out. Perhaps for his eccentricity, but more importantly for his exceptional white Burgundy wines, Vincent Bouzereau has made a name for himself and his domaine. “If you work hard you must eat and drink well” is one of Vincent Bouzereau’s favourite expressions. Even on the day of rest, Vincent and his family can be spotted attending mass where the communion wine is nothing less than a good Meursault. Vincent appreciates fine wine and it is evident in his production.
Ten generations of expertise
Created in 1990, the estate is run with a no-nonsense approach to farming, without the excess use of technologies. Everything is done simply to preserve the natural aspects and bring out the best of the terroir and the vines. The main point of difference in Vincent’s fragmented 11 hectares is his particular interest in the vine-stocks. Thanks to Vincent’s forefathers and the continued use of traditional selection massale, the present stocks originate from selections achieved pre-phylloxera. Rather than the more common practice of buying cloned vine plants, the estate consistently identifies its finest vines and uses pruning to produce new plants. The result is some spectacular wine which in theory, should keep getting better.
The lucky ‘Charmes’
Twenty different wines (both red and white) are produced from plots located mainly around the village of Meursault, and in Puligny, Monthélie, Auxey-Duresses, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune and Corton as well. Boasting eight Premiers Crus and two Grands Crus, most of Vincent Bouzereau’s white wines are priced below average, steadily increasing in popularity and enjoying above-average increases over the past few years. With age-worthy wines and low prices, there is very little to lose and plenty of room for potential gains when the Burgundy wine game is played right. Investments should do well, particularly for Domaine Vincent Bouzereau’s prized white wines.
Notable facts and vintages
  • Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Meursault 1er Cru ‘Les Charmes’, Le Guide Hachette des Vins’ ‘2 Stars’ awarded for the 2013 vintage in 2017; the 2010 vintage received another ‘2 Stars’ in 2014 and ‘2 Stars’ again for the 2009 vintage in 2013.
  • Though in even smaller supply, the domaine also produces highly desirable Pinot Noir wines such as 2010 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Corton Clos des Fietres Grand Cru which received ‘2 Stars’ from La Guide Hachette des Vins in 2013.
  • Though Corton is known mostly for its Grand Cru reds, in the tiny climat of Corton Les Fietres, Chardonnay reigns supreme and Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Corton Clos des Fietres Grand Cru Blanc would be a very attractive for investors fortunate enough to secure their supply.
