Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Corton Grand Cru BLANC 2023

Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Corton Grand Cru is a deeply concentrated wine with intense white fruit, citrus and flashes of stone fruit. There is a profound mineral streak throughout the wine which is perfectly balanced with the deep fruit and soft oak notes. The balance and precision of this wine is quite remarkable, and it really is up there with the finest of white wines.

The vineyard is shared between two growers and is located between Corton Perrieres and Corton Chaumes. It is protected by a stone wall, so is quite a unique wine.

Ailen and Vincent Bouzereau come from a long line of Burgundian wine makers and merchants whose roots can be traced back to the 16th Century. Based in the heart of Meursault, they own and farm biodynamically 18 hectares of vines across Cote de Beaune. Their vineyards are created with massal selection, the process of replanting vineyards with the best cuttings from the existing vineyards rather than using clones. Vincent is easily one of the most energetic and intense wine makers I have ever met. His enthusiasm is infectious and tasting with him is a full on, strap yourself in, rollercoaster ride. His wines are rich, intense and terroir driven. They are everything that is great about Burgundy, a delightful sensory experience. I always skip out of the winery!

All Bouzereau’s wines are from 40 year or older plots, hand harvested, vinified with indigenous yeasts and then aged in wood for a minimum of 12 months on fine lees with little to zero filtration before bottling. Across the board they are generous and pure, with depth and complexity and are a joy to drink, even when youthful.
