With a precise style marked by finesse and elegance, Jean-Baptiste Bouzereau consistently raises the bar for Burgundy, earning admiration for both his mastery and unwavering consistency.

At the helm of Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils, awarded 3 stars by La Revue du Vin de France (a leading French wine guide), he reveals the true character of his terroirs through rigorous viticultural practices inspired by biodynamic principles.

Driven by a quest for elegance and purity, he brings out the brilliance and delicacy of the wines through expertly judged barrel aging—always tailored to the nature of each vintage. As a result, you’ll rarely find the toasty or reductive notes often associated with some Meursaults in his wines.
