Histoire du domaine
The Bouzereau family is based in Meursault and has been cultivating vines there for seven generations. Michel Bouzereau initially worked alongside his father Robert and his brother Pierre, until the two brothers went their separate ways in 1971. He then began bottling the wine on the estate, at a time when a significant proportion of Burgundy wines were still sold in bulk. Over the years, he expanded the vineyard he had inherited from his father. His son Jean-Baptiste joined the estate in the 1990s and trained alongside him for nearly ten years. In 1999, Jean-Baptiste Bouzereau took over the management of the family estate, which at that time comprised 10.5 hectares. A new building was constructed in 2008 and, since the 2009 harvest, the entire estate has been based at 5 Rue Robert-Thénard in Meursault. The Burgundy Wine Board currently lists the estate’s cultivated area as 12.5 hectares, comprising 10.8 hectares of white grape varieties and 1.7 hectares of red grape varieties. Michel Bouzereau passed away on 16 July 2026.
Champ Gain
Champ Gain is a delimited climat of Puligny-Montrachet, located at the top of the slope, above Les Folatières and close to the forest edge. It is officially recognized among the climats entitled to accompany the Puligny-Montrachet appellation with the Premier Cru designation. Descriptions dedicated to the climat indicate a south-east exposure and a clay-limestone, stony and shallow soil; another source describes ochre earth mixed with stones on a limestone bedrock.

- Origin of the vineyard name
- "Gain" is thought to be linked to "regain" (aftermath or clearing) and would designate land reclaimed from the forest; this etymology remains proposed with caution.

Histoire de la parcelle
The heritage dossier of the Climats de Bourgogne lists Champ Gain in the AC and AE cadastral sections of Puligny-Montrachet, on the 1963 cadastre. The regulatory list of Puligny-Montrachet climats authorized to benefit from the Premier Cru designation explicitly includes Champ Gain; at the appellation scale, this hierarchy of climats dates back to the list established in 1943, and the specific delimitation of the Premiers Crus was approved by the INAO on May 17 and 18, 1984.
