Beaune 1er Cru Red "Les Vignes Franches" 2021 | Wine from Domaine Michel Bouzereau & Fils

Red wine - Beaune 1er Cru "Les Vignes Franches" 2021 - Domaine Michel Bouzereau & Fils

The Bouzereau family has been cultivating the vines in Meursault for 7 generations, Michel handed over the reins to his son Jean-Baptiste in 1999 and the succession is announced with Paul, but the credo remains the same: no good wine without a high quality of grapes from there, everything is done to obtain a healthy and tasty fruit. Soil cultivation, short pruning, severe disbudding and the use of the most natural products are all advantages for this. All the harvests are done by hand to respect the grapes as much as possible. The whites are slowly pressed and put into barrels the next day, the malolactic fermentation completed, they will remain on the lees until the next harvest and they will finish their ageing in barrels or vats depending on the appellation. The reds are destemmed and undergo cold maceration before fermentation without yeast and aged in oak barrels for 12 to 16 months.

This Beaune 1er Cru "Les Vignes Franches" 2021 from Domaine Michel Bouzereau & Fils comes from a climate that is located south of Beaune, next to the famous Clos des Mouches, on a very red soil, in a limestone terroir. A Beaune 1er Cru with a bouquet marked by sour cherry and ripe red fruits, with discreet woodiness, substance, length and elegant tannins
