Domaine Michel Bouzereau Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru 2010 Bouteille (75cl)
Domaine Michel Bouzereau Meursault Genevrières 1st Cru 2010 is a white Burgundy wine made 100% from Chardonnay, produced on the Genevrières climat in the Meursault appellation. This Premier Cru comes from a 0.52-hectare parcel with very stony clay-limestone soils, planted between 1987 and 1990. The cuvée is aged for 16 to 18 months in barrels, with about 25% new oak, an approach that highlights the structure and expression of Meursault Chardonnay.

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.
Genevrières (Meursault)
Genevrières is a climat officially classified as a Premier Cru of the AOC Meursault, located in the heart of the Premier Cru slope. Its area brings together the lieux-dits Les Genevrières Dessus, Les Genevrières Dessous, part of Les Chaumes des Perrières, and part of Les Chaumes de Narvaux. Sources describe clay-limestone soils and a variable subsoil composed of rocky scree, limestone slabs, or white limestone rock. The altitude, slope, and exposure data published by certain estates concern their own parcels and are therefore not retained as quantified characteristics of the climat as a whole.

Histoire de la parcelle
The terroir appears in the form "En Genevrier" in a rental roll of the lordship of Meursault dated 1608-1609. Les Genevrières Dessous also appear in the historical cadastral documents of Meursault, while the modern delimitation of the climat groups together several cadastral lieux-dits. Genevrières is today officially recognized among the climats that can complement the Meursault appellation with the "premier cru" mention.
